Abstract: Video is one of the most compelling forms of communication of this time. Over the course of the past few years, the gradual but sure drift from analog to digital in video technology has not only improved the abilities of visual communication media to distribute data, but has also improved their abilities to manipulate the data that they distribute.

The first, "readability," is both a practical and theoretical problem having to do with the possibilities of interpretation in visual culture.
