I love this example of the Rubens Tube:
I can see lots of ways of using this in an interactive way. Imagine using proximity, force, mind manipulation as a sound wave - there are loads of possibilities.
Off the back of my last post on Microsoft’s Touch Wall and my slightly off-topic update dealing with OpenFrameworks, these are the two guys behind OF:

It’s built using OpenFrameworks and it all has been run and developed using Flash. The developer who created it is Christian Moore. He’s been interviewed by Gizmodo here.
Open Frameworks is a C++ cross-platform library for visual experimentation interfaces…It’s awesome for really processor intensive stuff.
Definitely going to get the gang looking into this in the near future.
Great motion graphics montage with nice use of grading and subtle 3D…Nice summertime vibes.
One of the people who put it together, Justin Schrader, has a very interesting website here.
He’s done some visual Processing experiments and there are some other video examples. If he hasn’t got a picked up yet he deserves to be and credit to him.
Christian Behrens has created an excellent collection of Information Design patterns.
Everyone should really go and check out his great work.
