Video Simulacrum

(link to Geekologie)

Patrick Liddell has shown us what results when a video is uploaded and downloaded 1000 times! The equivalent of photocopying an image until the original is rendered unrecognisable. A copy of a copy with a lesser resemblence to the original is known as a simulacrum. You may remark upon the drastic changes that occur in later versions of the copying process, with the audio and video highly altered. Is this a metaphor for the plight of humanity? You be the judge
