Vostell reverts to the effect of early TV transmission test pictures from the 30's where electronic synchronisation was a major task. Later, technological progress presented the brains smoother imagery which made it easier to find sense/interpretation'. This video shows imagery with large holes in-between, the brain has to work harder allowing it more space for all sorts of interpretations which would usually work against the interest of the manipulators >TV stations and groups behind.
