Margaret Noble on 'Touch':
Touch is a composition of sensory disorientation. Sonic artifacts and accidentals are juxtaposed in audio collage from the recordings of hands touching objects and structures. Fingers drag down staircases, over floors, across walls and around crystal glassware in search of unexpected moments. Moving overlooked sensory moments to the foreground, the touching of objects isn’t neutral.

Born in Texas and raised in San Diego, Margaret Noble’s artwork has been exhibited across the United States, Canada and abroad in Europe. She holds a BA in Philosophy from the University of California, San Diego and an MFA in Sound Art from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. In 2014, she won first place in the Musicworks Magazine electronic music composition competition. Margaret Noble’s work is influenced by the beat-driven dance culture of southern California during the 1980s. This inspiration led her to perform as an electronic music DJ in the underground club community of Chicago for several years during the late nineties. Now, her interdisciplinary work resides at the intersection of sound, installation and performance. Margaret Noble uses narrative form to investigate the real and imagined repercussions of legacies left behind by families, communities and technology.
