Based on a discarded workplace training video, the loop replays continuously, losing information on each cycle. The repetition and shift between video formats slowly degrades the image; the worker is trapped by the screen; condemned to repeat the same menial task over and over again in perpetuity. Finally the image breaks down into its component parts leaving only residual noise and abstraction.
