In my Datamotives idea I use a digital medium to affect a analogue medium, above is the same but the other away around. Mechanical scanning allows simple images created on screen. A 'Nipkow disk' which houses a spiral of holes punched through it, each containing a single line of the image. The disc then spins and each hole is read, creating an overall image on the screen. It doesn't have the most widest of bandwidths but it a very good example of a physical object effecting a virtual object.
