This is an outside dance party, under the Manhattan sky, with VJ’s and DJ’s playing the hottest videos and the most dynamic music for those wishing to dance through the night. There will be an appearance by master mix man, Moby. Other famous DJ’s spinning that night will be Martin Moscrop, Activaire DJs, and Holy Ghost!.

This is a project that is a collaborative effort between the Museum and MTV2. Titled “Sonic Vision” this is a visual music experience. It has been touted as a groundbreaking effort in the combination of music, animation and digital technology. This is similar to a fantastic dream, a journey of the mind and the senses. Moby created the music mixes that accompany the videos, and he included tunes by such famous bands and performers such as David Bowie, Radiohead, Brian Eno, The Flaming Lips, Audioslave and David Byrne. This adventurous tour includes the dome of the Planetarium being lit with a colorful light show, and the projections of the films, a combination of technology and art. This is a one of a kind, not to be missed show.
