As a fully digitally animated music show in a planetarium half-sphere video format, SonicVision is likely the first of its kind anywhere in the world.
In association with MTV2, several VJs and many animators worked to create the visual content for the 7-projector digital projection system at the Hayden Planetarium in New York's American Museum of Natural History.
The creative director of SonicVision was Chris Harvey, who drew on cosmic, mystical, and mandalic imagery as well as visions of alien civilizations and distant worlds to bring the half-sphere format to life.
Other contributing artists and animators include Benton C Bainbridge, Madame Chao, V. Owen Bush (also Lead Compositor of SonicVision), Mark Bajuk, Carter Emmart, Ed Manning, Bruce Gionet, Matt Pursley, Joshua Minges, Andrew Harper, Doug Vitarelli, and Erik Wesselak.
On June 2, 2011 it started showing in the Tel Aviv Planetarium in the Eretz Israel Museum produced by Jonathan and Itamar Riftin.
