The 112th Annual Report of the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, 1999- 2000 (2000:4) noted 'The museum participated in NOISE, a set of linked exhibitions devised by Adam Lowe and Simon Schaffer. The exhibitions focused on how we perceive and how we communicate our perceptions in the digital age. Ms Herle, with the assistance of Sue Dalgleish, prepared several installations in the Maudsley Gallery including: ‘Dots in the Desert: Australian Aboriginal Art’ with paintings by Gracie Ngale Morton, Bessie Nakamarra Sims and Paddy Japaljarri Sims; Tom Van Sant’s ‘Map of the world without clouds’; and Paul Miller aka DJ Spooky’s ‘Sound Fabric’. In the Clark Gallery, Manuel Franquelo and Sven Nebel’s ‘Virtually a Reality?’ and ‘Virtual Noise’ were exhibited, along with Robin Boast’s ‘Impressions d’Afrique’ and ‘Impressions d’Arctique’. Linked exhibitions were held in Cambridge at Kettles Yard, the Whipple Museum of the History of Science, and the Fitzwilliam Museum and also at the Wellcome’s Trust’s Gallery in London. They represented a major contribution to National Science Week 1999.'
