NCM is situated on the lands of the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung people. We pay respects to them, especially their Elders and storytellers, as well as all First Peoples, nationwide. NCM acknowledges that communication technologies have a long history here, far longer than European occupation.

About Signal to Noise

In an age where information is no longer scarce but overwhelming, Signal to Noise explores how artists respond to our technologically saturated world. From glitch aesthetics and machine listening, to reimagined historical tech and AI-generated sound, this exhibition spans decades of media, art, and radical thought. Discover how vintage radios, cloned voices, digital debris and woven data tapestries come together in this exhibition to explore the noisy, chaotic, and often beautiful ways we communicate.
