Urban Noise explores the aesthetic and conceptual value of digital noise in photography. I question the notion that noise is inherently useless, ugly and with no redeeming value. Noise, in its most basic definition is not useless, rather it is the interference of unsought information which may contain intrinsic meaning offering new discoveries. Digital sensors record more than light, they also record other energies as noise. In this noise I find a visual texture that transfigures the literal to allow a contemporary expression of the sublime. Paradoxically, a quiet stillness emerges from within the visual cacophony of contemporary urban noise.
