That is really cool.  I will be in the Bay Area at Christmas and will have to go check out the exhibit.  Good topic to finally get my wife to SF MOMA :)

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:
http://at.or.at/hans/blog/2010/11/21/highlighting-data-with-sound/

"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."
