The Information Age is over.
Join us for a weekend of bold, boundary-breaking programming as we launch our new exhibition Signal to Noise . From live performances and participatory sound rituals to thought-provoking talks and screenings, NCM comes alive with artists who are rewiring what communication can be.
Expect glitchy visuals, AI narration, communal gongs, and experimental soundscapes. Drop by for a single session or spend the whole afternoon immersed in noise, signal, and everything in between.
All programs are free with museum entry. Just turn up — or explore the full program below.

About Signal to Noise
Signal to Noise
Signal to Noise explores how artists work with, challenge, or complicate the relationship between signals and noise—disruptions, glitches or interference—in communication technologies and the messages they send. These technologies include the internet, telephones, radio and television, artificial intelligence, social media algorithms, and even the sounds of the natural world.
