Part of visual research for an interactive media project...
We had to research three words generated at random. Mine were liquid, light, and network. Although it wasn't part of the assignment to try and capture/define all three at once I feel this is on its way to doing so.

This was visual feedback from a VHS Solid State Camcorder I found at an antique store (making me feel very old), which I was "orchestrating" as I recorded this with my digital camera. One on here was of actual playback of recorded material, which will be the one with the most visual decay.
