I’ve just discovered the writings of Roy Ascott, Brian Eno’s teacher at art school. Static cinema, ambient cinema, the loop.
Call it cool when the information bits are loosely stacked, of uncertain order, not clearly connected, ambiguous, entropic. Then the system allows the observer to participate, projecting his own sense of order or significance into the work, or setting up resonances by quite unpredicted interaction with it. We must also consider the cut-out mechanism that operates when an artwork overheats; when it is too hot; too densely stacked, with an overburdened accumulation of bits, a sort of infinitely inclusive field. Then the system switches to avery cool state and feedback of a high oder is possible.”
- Roy Ascott, from “Behaviourables and Futuribles” in Telematic Embrace: Visionary Theories of Art, Technology, and Consciousness

Phantom Loop Study #4:
Cheating by two seconds here. The single loop is 12 seconds to allow the central panel a full cycle. Then there is the same loop in reverse to replicate the palindrome effect. Palindrome (“loop back and forth”) is available with quicktime pro, but it doesn’t function very well over the net. So technically this is a 24 second loop. There, I don’t feel guilty anymore. Rules are ment to be broken.
Images in this loop are from Wallaby Jim from the Islands, The Black Pirate and Captain Calamity.
