VHS Degradation: Portrait of Eric

After editing together a montage of digital portrait clips of Eric, I used a media player to display the footage on my television at home. Using a VHS camcorder, I then filmed the television screen. I digitised the analogue footage before placing it on the media player in place of the original sequence. I repeated this process of recording the screen on VHS another 9 times. With each recording, the original clarity is lost a little more. The result is an abstracted sequence of green and purple lights.
