The variety VSP(f,10) of presentations of a general homogeneous cubic form f in 6 variables as a sum of 10 powers of linear forms has the structure of a hyperkahler 4-fold. I shall discuss this result and how Noether Lefschetz divisors in the moduli space of Hyperkahler 4-folds correspond to divisors of cubic fourfolds that are not Noether Lefschetz. I report on work with Iliev and Voisin.
