17 Loop

Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana. Groucho Marx (maybe)

It’s all loops. As far as the eye can see. As far as the ear can hear. In time. Loops are the foundation of our experience of time and, so it follows, any time-based art. Which of course is all art, as we perceive nothing without time. (Odd that time is taught as 4D in art schools, when in truth it is primary, viewing a painting is a temporal experience.) Brian Evans Loop Theory

Things that loop, own themselves. They are the most important thing in the room as far as they are concerned. They appear self-actuating, or made by someone else, which is useful for artists because they can be as critical as they want to be. 

I made quite a lot of films a while back using computer programs that could run video clips out of sequence. Making non-linear film with multiple pathways takes a lot of effort because all of those individual journeys need realised somehow. The Garden of Forking Paths + Meaning Making Machines. Why not just get the PC to do it. 

In your Christmas Spotify playlist, the loop takes a year. I let my own loops appear when they wanted after I twigged that all paths through a non-linear landscape are linear unless done twice.

And what’s the point of that?
