The Visualizing the Proton Project is presented by the MIT Center for Art, Science & Technology and Jefferson Lab.

The MIT Center for Art, Science & Technology (CAST) creates new opportunities for art, science and technology to thrive as interrelated, mutually informing modes of exploration, knowledge and discovery. CAST’s multidisciplinary platform presents performing and visual arts programs, supports research projects for artists working with science and engineering labs, and sponsors symposia, classes, workshops, design studios, lectures and publications.

The Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility, or Jefferson Lab, is managed and operated for the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Science by Jefferson Science Associates, LLC.

DOE’s Office of Science is the single largest supporter of basic research in the physical sciences in the United States and is working to address some of the most pressing challenges of our time.
