HABALOOP I Audiovisual Installation I
In cooperation with General Magic
HABALOOP
Installation with Nine Small Screens
Habaloop consists of 9 small screens hanging on a wall in an array of 3 x 3. The work shows 9 related
animations of a bigger fi lm composed of flickering stripes in pure screen colours Red Green Blue.
Habaloop also hosts an according soundloop, which—depending on the presentation situation—will be
heard together with the animations or can be downloaded via QR-Code or URL on a mobile device
connected to the internet, such as modern smart phones.
Habaloop are framed frames, that is to say, looped sequences each encapsulated in its own screen.
Through disassembling a longer linear movie into smaller looping pieces with diff erent time lengths
presented together in one array, the viewer is able to see the work twofold: on the one hand we can see
the underlying structure of the movie performed by the diff erent fl ickering stripes; on the other hand
we can also observe and compare the diff erences in the individual phases of the movie. The work is
dissected and the constituent parts spread out. What remains is a simultaneity that shows the movie in
ever changing compositions.
