The Collapse of PAL (rendered version, 2010)
During the Collapse of PAL, the Angel mourns the loss of the analog signal, superseded by Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB). She wishes to restore what is broken, but remains passive, rationalizing that PAL’s demise was inevitable: the signal simply wasn’t good enough.
New to digital image processing, she still believes each update might bring improvement.
Unbeknownst to her, the digital paradigm has already locked her into an endless ascent of the PenRose-Stairs to Nowhere: a recursive paradox modeled on the Gospel of Progress, where every step forward defers completion, and every improvement introduces obsolescence.
