VIDEOTROPY
From order to chaos, the entropy of the videosphere

Since the beginning of the video technology, two patterns have been absolute: the maximum order, represented by the color bar, and the maximum chaos from the white noise.

The color bar and the 1 kHz sound were created as a pattern to calibrate transmitters and receivers. It is the most expressive order that can be found in video, the most perfect stability that is used as reference by all in the video chain in order to get fidelity. The organized state of video information creates an existential basis for all video equipment. The order is like a life conductor wire that passes through everything that exists inside the videosphere.

The white noise of sound and video is the absolute absence of information. It is all information transmitted and received at same time. Where there is nothing, everything is included. The electromagnetic chaos is the background of the videosphere. The absence of order generating life from its chaotic pulsation.

These two extremes live together in the videosphere. However, their existences are not dissociated. Entropy unites them inside the dynamics that goes from order to chaos (without forgetting the probability of going from chaos to order).
