Composer JoAnn Kuchera-Morin, director of the Center for Research in Electronic Art Technology (CREATE) at UC Santa Barbara, demos the AlloSphere at a TED talk, and show an entirely new way to see and interpret scientific data, in full color and surround sound inside a 3-story high, massive metal sphere.

Some of the claims seem a bit far-fetched, but the presentation is amazing and compelling nonetheless. The presentation lets you dive into the brain, feel electron spin, hear the music of the elements. Works shown include an interactive visualization of unique atomic bonds, an immersive art installation bringing forth a complex ecosystem of creativity and a multimodal representation of quantum mechanics.
