About Noise of Art:

Noise of Art is an independent collective that celebrates the convergence of musical and visual disciplines brought about by the digital age. There are Noise of Art events throughout the year in different venues and countries.

Their events have been staged at prestigious and unusual venues such as The Tate, BFI, The Roundhouse, Big Chill Festival, Latitude Festival, The Great Escape, Ether Festival, Royal Festival Hall, Brighton Festival, the Dome, Southbank Centre, The National Film Theatre, Edinburgh Corn Exchange, Glasgow Art School, Institute Francais, Social Club Paris and in numerous night clubs.

In collaboration with the archive and distribution departments of the BFI, Noise of Art has put new music to a range of early European cinema, including the works of Mitchell & Kenyon, recently re-discovered Italian pioneering film and some of the earliest ever shot British film. We have worked with established figures, such as Ralph Koltai CBE and commercial design collective Airside, and on the other end of the spectrum we’ve also pioneered work by up and coming contemporary Britisth, French and German visual artists.

Slipped Disco is a club night, radio show and record label run by Noise of Art founder Ben Osbourne. Guests that have contributed DJ sets or live sessions include: Booka Shade, Justin Robertson, Miss Kitten, Justice, Headman, Richie Hawtin, Ashley Beedle (X Press 2), Emperor Machine, Chanty Po, Casiokids, Josh Wink, Busy P, Ellen Allien, Guy Gerber, Anya Schnider, Autokratz, A Human, Toby Tobias, Fred Deakin (Lemon Jelly), Punk Soundcheck, Timo Garcia, Faze Action, Le Le, The 9000 and My Toys Like Me.

“Turning the National Film Theatre into a riverside club and Tate Britain into a two floor dancefloor music venue indicates just how ambitious the organisers are as they seek to represent the clash and synergy of visuals and electronic music, silent films, live bands and whatever interactive artworks are when they’re not posing on the dancefloor.”

“When it comes to mega multimedia events, promoter-DJ-journalist Ben Osborne and his collective, Noise of Art, are all over it.”
