Poppy Stephenson's work submitted to NOISE impressed New Media curator, Danny Brown. He commented that her live interactive exhibition booth was 'a beautiful piece and a technical feat.'

Poppy graduated from Manchester Metropolitan University in Interactive Arts with first class honours in 2006 and since NOISE she has become interested in festival planning and event management. She was involved in the art festival Zen and was also a featured artist. Poppy is currently working on a community festival in Bristol. She urges people to 'take the opportunity that NOISE gives you and grab it with both hands!'

Situl was selected by NOISE 2006 New Media Curator Danny Brown as his Curators Choice. Danny commented; 'The lovely thing about Situl's work is that he's very much in the same media space as me. He's creating aesthetics by programming.'

Situl went off to have his algorithm showcased in the NOISE exhibition at Urbis, allowing people to interact with the piece. Situl was thrilled with the exposure he got through taking part in NOISE Festival, saying;

'NOISE Festival has given me a fantastic opportunity to have my work displayed in one of the most prominent exhibition spaces in the country. It's hard for young artists to gain exposure as a lot of galleries are prone to exhibiting well known artists rather than young emerging talent. The exposure wouldn't have been possible without NOISE's support and it's amazing to get my work out into the public eye; a great catalyst for recognition within the design industry.'
