Thesis: S.M., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, School of Architecture and Planning, Program in Media Arts and Sciences, 2016. === Cataloged from PDF version of thesis. === Includes bibliographical references (pages 112-118). === Two projects in scientific data sonification are presented. 'Quantizer' is a platform that enables composers to develop artistic sonification schemes using real-time data from the ATLAS detector at CERN. Three sample audio streams are available for real-time consumption by the public and the public engagement potential for the project is studied. 'Rotator' uses sonification as a practical tool for analysis of high dimensional data Users can swipe data between their auditory and visual channels in order to best perceive the structure of a dataset. A dual audio-visual presentation mode is found to be a promising alternative to use of a purely visual display mode. === by Juliana Mae Cherston. === S.M.
