Life In Red, Green, Blue & Mind-fuck

The digital box that makes up so much peoples' lives today is composed of and organized by three little colors: red, green and blue. I don't necessarily get it, but all I know it lets me watch HD movies from DVDs in nearly the same quality as a modern projector. I've been invested in studio art as well as art in other media for much of my life so visual concepts translate quite well with me. But shift gears towards the digital age where everything is code, illusion, and is like not even there... but is there man (you know?) and I can't even begin to explain how it works. My mind reels and my eyes twitch, in the good kind of way not the seizure-inducing kind. But it's such a heavily integrated part of my (and perhaps your) lifestyle that it makes me want to solve these mysteries, explore these paradoxes and most importantly bask in the splendor of mind-fucking visual effects.
