Simulating Video Feedback

Inspiration

During my undergraduate studies, I went to a few hackathons. At one of them, I saw a demonstration that wasn't about code -- someone showed how you could generate complex and varied patterns by pointing a camera at a monitor displaying the camera's output. It was an example of a video feedback loop. At the time, I was taking courses on computer graphics, and wondered if I could replicate this sort of phenomenon with a series of image manipulations.
