Exhibition
TED 2024 Vancouver
AlloSphere: Art-Science Evolution at TED 2024 — “The Brave and the Brilliant,” marking TED’s 40th anniversary.
For TED 2024 in Vancouver, the AlloSphere Research Group presented an immersive installation on a large-scale immersive screen. The installation invited visitors to explore complex systems the way artists do — perceptually and intuitively, uncovering new patterns in data through visual and sonic representation.
Visitors experienced three immersive works bridging art and science:
- Etherial — a quantum composition visualizing and sonifying a hydrogen-like atom using the time-dependent Schrödinger equation.
- Fractal — a real-time, interactive journey through the 4D Mandelbrot set, rendered with immersive ray casting.
- Fabric — a full-body interactive spring-mass simulation; lift, spread, and tear computational cloth with motion turned into sound.
Team: Dr. JoAnn Kuchera-Morin (lead artist and composer), Dr. Thea Wood, Dr. Kon Hyong Kim, Dr. Gustavo Rincon, and Dennis Adderton.
