digital noise

Pixel-level visual artifacts

Digital noise refers to random visual distortion in electronic images—the grainy, speckled appearance in photos taken in low light or at high ISO settings.

By extension, digital noise describes the overwhelming volume of irrelevant information online: notifications, ads, clickbait, and content competing for attention.

I'm trying to cut through the digital noise and focus on what matters.
