I believe the piece was created by taking video/audio clips and subjecting them to a software package called AutoTune, which lets you modify the pitch of the voices. Autotune was developed to correct the pitch of singers whose intonation is not very accurate, but then artists began using it for the weird robotic kind of sound it can produce when over-used (as it is here). Cher's "Believe" was one of the first pop songs to use it that way.
Mind you, the Symphony of Science website doesn't say that's how they do it, but it sure seems likely to me.
