“Noise Floor”—Interactive Exhibit at the Michigan Technological University Rozsa Center Art Gallery, 2016 created, designed, and produced by Josh Loar .

Noise surrounds us. In the industrial world we are constantly bombarded with sounds, most of which we no longer even notice (the hum of compressor motors, the whine of routers, the whir of hard drives, the roar of lawnmowers). Noise Floor is an interactive exhibit by artist Josh Loar, focused on the pervasive noise around us -- mechanical and cultural -- bringing into focus sounds that we normally shut out of our conscious minds.
