ABSTRACT
This paper describes the background and process involved in the creation of 'datareader' a new custom Max/MSP object designed for artists to more easily work with scientific data. This project grew out of several years of developing software using existing Max/MSP objects to create artworks that translate data to sound (sonification), including a system for performing sound with eye movements and systems for sonifying neural data and data from a highly detailed weather model.
