Digital Noise

Digital Noise; Deeg'gi-tahl Noy'ze
The creation of and with the aid and or assistance of computer aided programs to manipulate conventional art such as but not limited to physical acrylic & oil painting pen & ink graphic illustrations. In using computer aided programs and in using them they the programs manipulate and deface the original artwork from its original renditions to create worthless heaps of bytes that cannot be nor ever be original as would be the case with original renditions created by means of labors of the heart to hand as seen in original physical acrylic & oil painting pen & ink graphic illustrations. In all works created solely by means of computer aided programs are not true artistic renditions worthy of being considered art in the contemporary sense.

Examples of modern day artist; Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, Shelley Jo V. Shuford, Picasso
Person one, I just love that artwork I saw on the web, and that's original.
Person two, Yeah OK sure it's nice but a machine aided in it so it's not real art it's just digital noise and easily copied again and again.
Person one, OK it's not true artistic renditions by conventional ways such as original physical acrylic & oil painting pen & ink graphic illustrations.
Person two, You see now stop with all that digital noise and have a look at this Micheal Angelo, this is real art!

Digital Vitiligo

When the media uses people of colour in ads, magazines, etc. and lightens their skin in an effort to be more "marketable" read: white and "appealing" read: white to a larger white audience.

This process lightens the skin so much that the person in question bears little resemblance to a real person of colour and is obviously fake.
