The Astroparticle Immersive Synthesizer (AIS3) is a sound laboratory created by conceptual artist and composer Tim Otto Roth in cooperation with the IceCube Neutrino Observatory. The data from large-volume neutrino telescopes like IceCube, ANTARES, and KM3NeT are interpreted in sound and light. The installation consists of 444 spherical loudspeakers, each equipped with LEDs and a synthesizer. The loudspeakers, representing the photosensors of the neutrino detectors, are hanging on thin wire ropes allowing the visitors to move freely through the installation. The photosensor data are encoded by sound frequencies and additionally visualized by colored illumination of the loudspeakers, which allows the visitors to experience the time sequence of neutrino events in the 3D environment. The project creates a fundamental experiment in psychoacoustics for everyone by immersing the visitor in the sound generator. We describe the design and construction of the installation, the interpretation of the physics data as a natural source by Tim Otto Roth, and the exhibitions in Berlin, Munich, Aachen, and Paris.
