I stumbled across this today - https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2018/may/22/big-bangers-wave-epoch-brighton-festival-cern-hadron-collider-grime [EDIT TO FIX LINK] It's a description of a wild 2018 art project which put grime artists in conversation with CERN scientists at the Large Hadron Collider. Not sure if I actually want to hear the results, but it's a nice idea. And the artists talk about people in 1000 years time looking at the collider with the same curiosity as we all look at Stonehenge today so it seems relevant to this thread ...

Damn, link has gone. Sounded interesting too

This article published yesterday asserts that what was (arguably) good for the Neolithic goose is not good for the contemporary gander, and that land art despoils natural environments. I found it an interesting read, but to my mind riven with contradictions.
