CERN, founded in 1954, operates the Large Hadron Collider and confirmed the Higgs boson; Tim Berners-Lee also invented the World Wide Web there in 1989. For an initiative at the Prévessin site, Vhils carved Building 866 as an homage to CERN's community. An institution that probes beneath visible matter meets a wall stripped back by hand, with the researchers and workers behind its scientific abstractions set into the architecture.
