video feedback

Camera sees itself

Video feedback is the visual effect produced when a camera is pointed at its own monitor, creating an infinite tunnel of nested images.

The effect produces swirling, fractal-like patterns as slight movements compound through recursive loops.

Artists and musicians have used video feedback for psychedelic visuals: The band performed against a backdrop of video feedback.

The term also refers more broadly to video-based responses or critiques: The instructor provided video feedback on each student's presentation.
