In December 2000 the first event took place in the Blue Hall, a smaller room for specific research on particles. In November 2001 the second event took place in the Celcius ring -
the big accelerator.

Audiences were guided around the facilities in groups of 20 people and entered the performance space for 20 minutes.

Each event lasted for approximately 4 hours and was therfore an experiment in itself. Approximately 250 people each year visited the The Svedberg Laboratory » http://www4.tsl.uu.se/tsl/tsl/
