no noise #1 #1

The process here is that a portion of a canvas with random black and white pixels is copied, transported to another location and then copied back in at that location. The two things that caught my eye when I was experimenting with this in Photoshop were that you only see the copied portion when it is moving, and it 'disappears' into the randomness when it stops moving. Thinking about it this makes sense as by definition there are no discernible edges to noise against noise :) The second thing that struck me was the patterns that emerge once a sufficient number of portions have been copied and transported. The repetitions in the noise start to stand out and become a structure in the noise that initially isn't there at all, then appears clearly, and then 'levels off' as some of these patterns are destroyed by new portions that are copied.
