MSI: The Science of Storms

abc7chicago.com: "Be blown away by a 40-foot tornado swirling before you. See bolts of lightning crack over your head. Trigger an avalanche. Unleash a tsunami wave. It's all possible beginning March 18, 2010, as the Museum of Science and Industry, Chicago (MSI) unveils Science Storms, an unprecedented and dramatic permanent exhibit in newly-named Allstate Court that reveals the extraordinary science behind some of nature's most powerful and compelling phenomena-tornados, lightning, fire, tsunamis, sunlight, avalanches and atoms in motion."

If technology like this becomes more and more widespread, then pretty soon, performances, may be able to have some of this technology instead of just large-scale amusement parks. Incorporating the sense of touch to a performance really enhances the imprint that it has on our memory. Recreating nature like this would be as Oscar Wilde thought and we really would be making life itself a work of art.
