The Map is not the territory - In the digital ether, where data forms intricate patterns, we find the Noise Constellations. These figures, generated by Perlin Noise, weave through the cosmos of our technological existence. Digital noise is omnipresent, a ceaseless hum from the depths of image sensors to the algorithms crafting natural appearances in computer-generated imagery.

Within this noise, pattern recognition technologies emerge, identifying faces, calculating insurance premiums, assessing creditworthiness, and more. Our existence becomes intertwined with the data we produce, mapped onto a celestial plane of algorithmic scores and judgments. These processes shape and redefine societal hierarchies, ranking, filtering, and classifying us in both subtle and significant ways. Noise Constellations explores these inconsistencies, questioning what constitutes a signal and what is merely noise.
