The concerns and interests implicit in your inquiry, time, immediacy, delay, 
and the live, liquid, streaming nature of the signal, were extensively explored 
in many early works of analog video.  
 
The most obvious that comes to mind is Ira Schneider and Frank Gillette’s  Wipe 
Cycle.  Also Shirley Clarke’s TeePee Videospace Troup

Anyone interested in such ideas should read Ina Bloom’s excellent text, The 
Autobiography of Video: The Life and Times of a Memory Technology
