Cray supercomputer, C.E.R.N., Geneva, Switzerland Possibly 1989 - 2006

This photograph by Lewis Baltz, titled "Cray supercomputer, C.E.R.N., Geneva, Switzerland," was likely taken sometime between 1989 and 2006, capturing a glimpse into the technological landscape of the late 20th century. The image showcases a large, high-performance Cray supercomputer housed in a stark, sterile environment. Baltz's work often explores the intersection of technology, architecture, and industrial landscapes, often employing a cool and detached perspective. The stark, minimalist aesthetic highlights the imposing nature of the supercomputer and its role in the advancement of scientific research at CERN. The photograph's clean lines and subdued colors are characteristic of Baltz's signature style, further enhancing the sense of a technological world in transition.
