The Noematic Collective founded by Sian Hutchings in 2016, are a collective who explore how we can understand place, environments and social impacts through sound.
Currently the group consist of students and graduates from Arts University Bournemouth, Charles Pritchard, Georgie Ryan, Maddison Collymore, Tobias Gumbrill, Oscar Lockey, Oliver Matich and Sian Hutchings.
They have exhibited at BOLD TENDENCIES, BALTIC, The Drawing Studio, AUB and have run sonic-based workshops at Goldsmiths University and Arts University Bournemouth.
The manifesto of the group is to increase the understanding and thoughtfulness of sound and the importance of sound where vision has been the dominant sense in western culture.
