I found this podcast to be especially interesting with the variety of stories that they shared about loops, and how loops can exist everywhere. The first story about the comedians is the way of looking at a loop that we have discussed in class. The loop has the ability to change the viewers reaction throughout the piece while the actually information that is being given to them is exactly the same. I also thought the woman with transient global amnesia was really interesting. It is quite strange that the body can react in almost the exact same way over and over, with the same tone in their voice and even facial expressions. My favorite comment was when the doctor said that it is almost as though the brain is like a machine, and does free will really exist? The small section about the zero was also of interest to me. The zero is an actual representation of nothing, and how can it still represent nothing if it has become something? The comments about the tape falling apart brought up some good ideas that could possibly help me with my video projects. He says that if you can find a way to repeat without becoming redundant, then you are able to fall into a different time and space. This is really interesting when thinking about that relationship between the viewer and the piece and is that the true meaning of the work? To allow someone to stop and become a part of the repeating pattern?
