[PD] [PD-announce] Undervine, data viz + sonification at SFMOMA

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Working again with Bobby Pietrusko and Stewart Smith, I created  
sonification for visualization of data about the global wine  
industry.  It opened recently at SFMOMA in San Francisco.  You can see  
a little snippet here:

And here's a chunk from a scene that didn't make the final cut be we  
like anyway:

"Wine is a potent force in contemporary life, perhaps the only  
comestible to produce its own visual culture. How Wine Became Modern,  
the first exhibition of its kind, looks at the world of wine and the  
role that architecture, design, and media have played in its stunning  
transformation over the past three decades. Developed in collaboration  
with the New York architecture studio Diller Scofidio + Renfro, the  
exhibition features historical artifacts, architectural models,  
multimedia installations, newly commissioned artworks, and even a  
"smell wall" to provide a richly textured experience in the galleries.  
Come discover how important cultural preoccupations of our day, such  
as the meaning of "place" and "authenticity" in our increasingly  
global and virtual world, play out at this uniquely fertile  
intersection of nature and culture. At once a nuanced investigation  
and a vivid sensory and aesthetic experience, this exhibition presents  
wine as you've never seen it before."
