Loop is system of files that cycles a user endlessly from file to file to file. Inspired by concepts from Kittler and Vismann, the piece explores the construct of the digital file as a media of storage, transmission, and administration. Loop also plays with the underlying recursivity in media, a nod towards Kittler’s digital binary and Horkheimer and Adorno’s idea of media sameness. Its interactive form, while presenting a sense of autonomy, is ultimately a futile act through the constraints of a looped system.
