The Modern Institute is a music/art performance project based in Glasgow, Scotland experimenting with industrial music, noise, and visual overstimulation. Their output is split between live performances and recorded releases, the two employing rather different methodologies to achieve their respective affect, or in their case, function. Their recorded work attempts to create inhuman, almost sterile music, the creators of which are distilled from the process, as hinted to by the formality of their project's name. Their live appearances, naturally entailing their human presence, accentuates the human factor, almost depicting how the makers, although in control, may fall victim to their own creation by being consumed by feedback loops, hypnotic rhythms and noise based drones combined with overbearing visuals.

For their contribution to No View, The Radio, they have aimed at a middle ground, employing the ritual of their live performances, and, acknowledging that the process may only be conveyed to the audience through telecommunication, amplifying it through hypnotic visual and auditory means.
