SonicVision, a new show by the American Museum of Natural History and MTV2, blends technology, music and animations displayed on a 6,550-square-foot digital dome into a brain-melting fiesta of sounds and sights.

Set to open to the public Oct. 3, SonicVision features a musical score with tracks from Radiohead, Coldplay, Queens of the Stone Age, David Bowie, the Flaming Lips, Stereolab, Fischerspooner, Boards of Canada and Moby.

Viewers watch as spiders spin webs that mutate into swirling mosaics. Aliens dance while fireworks explode. A volcanic explosion descends, sweeping the audience into space, where whirls of melting color mutate into hundreds of blinking eyes, which then morph into wheeled machines on the dome's 69-foot-wide, 38-foot-high ceiling screen.
