Another little loop for the all-motivating loopdeloop.org competition. I built a lightbox for this one - it's hard to know what  came first; the inspiration for the loop, or the doodles it features. As usual, the post-completion analysis of what it's about goes something like this: The advent of audio/visual recording technology coincided with great philosophical advances in thought regarding the nature and perception of time. The concept of time as a dimension, similar to a spatial dimension - one pre-recorded reel of events which we move through in one direction only, induces myriad questions. Why this direction? Why this speed? David Lewis notably proposed several theories on the nature of time to try and find a consistent set of beliefs that unified four-dimensional space-time, free will and the possibility of time travel.
Whatever.
