Plot.
This is an attempt to process abstract images without the use of camera. The central circle divides the creen into two parts that continually vibrate hypnotically and change colors to the accompanying rumbling of modulated sound.

Wiki.
The Video Noisefields (1974) by Steina and Woody Vasulka is an important example of early formal and technical experimentation with analog video. The video runs for twelve minutes and five seconds and materially visualizes the deflected energy of the electronic signal. The video switches between two sources throughout, which creates a flickering effect. The imagery is based on the deflection of electronic signals, and a colorizer is used to add color variation. In the video, a circular form materializes on the screen and presents a division between inner and outer. A pulsation between the two is sustained throughout.
