Noise in analog video and television is perceived as a random dot pattern which is superimposed on the picture as a result of electronic noise and radiated electromagnetic noise picked up by the receiver’s antenna—it is the “snow” which is seen with poor analog television reception or on blank VHS tapes.
“I think television has betrayed the meaning of democratic speech, adding visual chaos to the confusion of voices. What role does silence have in all this noise?” — Federico Fellini
