Thought this would be of interest to someone. Saw an article today in
Mother Earth News written by Cop Macdonald

http://www.motherearthnews.com/Nature-Community/1983-07-01/New-Directions-Radio.aspx

which got me searching around and stumbled upon this gem:

http://www.piksel.no/pwiki/VSSTVInfo

"VSSTV uses broadcasts from this historic public domain television
system —available anytime over freely accessible frequencies—and regular
bubble wrap to construct an analogous system in which the packing
material functions as the aperture mask. Just as a Cathode Ray Tube
mixes the three primary colors to create various hues, VSSTV utilizes a
plotter-like machine to fill the individual bubbles with one of the
three primary CRT colors (red, green, and blue), turning them into
pixels on the VSSTV “screen”. Observed from a distance, the clusters of
pixels/bubbles merge into the transmitted image. Large television images
are the result, images that take the idea of slow scan to the extreme."

Novel idea.
