At the core of every digital file sits a platonic original-- the idea of an aspirational human form that we base our technology around. From the MP3, fine-tuned to the voice of Suzanne Vega; or post-WWII television, molded to an image of the “indian head test pattern,” our standards for calibration tell a subliminal story about the society that produced them.
