Reading Response (193-202)

The American Museum of Natural History collaborated with NCSA to create The Search for Life, Are We Alone?  The Search for Life piece is basically a virtual tour of the Mily Way galaxy, utilizating one of the biggest computers at the time (2002), a virtual software team, using flight paths through data to create tours users can experience.  I think art with a definite purpose is usually really engaging.  In this case people can learn about the position of elements in our solar system, even if they don't find life on other planets!
