Art of Noise opens at Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, adapted from an earlier presentation organized by San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. The exhibition examines the role of design in shaping everyday encounters with music across the past century, with more than 300 works installed throughout the third-floor galleries.
A handmade audio environment by Devon Turnbull occupies the first floor, while a choir installation by teenage engineering appears alongside objects ranging from sound technologies to graphic materials tied to music culture. Together these elements trace shifting relationships between sound, technology, and listening within a New York context.
