Most video
installations try to conceal technology, but Loop turns it inside-out
and displays its workings. Through technology, the viewer is allowed to see
inside the work while being reminded that the image is a playback and not real. Loop not only makes technology visible but also challenges the
audience to shift their perspective from the traditional audience-screen setup.
The rig becomes a sculptural object, a piece of artwork in itself.
This "in-between space" between the real and the recorded was of particular interest to the audience. Many people, after observing the work from a distance, became curious and began interacting with it, placing their hands between the iPad and the recorded site. There was an obvious desire to explore and ‘work out’ the installation.
