Signal to Noise: 2020 Visual Art RUNNER-UP
ART BY CARMEN LAC.
ARTIST STATEMENT
‘Signal to Noise’ is an ode to the plethora of shiny digital distractions in the challenging times of COVID-19, inspired by the many grievances aired (including my own) about the struggles of staying focused on online lectures when YouTube and social media are just a few clicks away. Ironically, I drew this piece as a form of procrastination. The title is also a nod to the mis/information-density of our times, as a key aspect of digital literacy is being able to discern the difference between broadcasts of truth and falsehoods.
