This piece is a snapshot of a simple real-time video processing system implementing feedback
and chroma key features. It is a study for a larger proposed work that uses W.H. Auden's
translation and Harry Smith's interpretation as a starting point for presenting Brecht and
Weil's opera in the form of found footage and video processing.
