Tape Loop, continues André Gonçalves explorations into creating responsive analog visuals, which have their beginnings as digital inputs.

Tape Loop, continues André Gonçalves explorations into reinventing uses for what some would call obsolete technology, digitaly controlling analog mechanical processes while creating mechanized installations. With Tape Loop he takes this process further, deconstructing and making use of the VCR’s working method expanding it to resemble the inspirational motif of an old whole wall magnetic tape reader/recorder.

Tape Loop, reflects not just on the technology, it makes use of, or how it is used. It’s final form can be seen as a portrait of a product’s lifetime, a timeline, the closed circle of consumerism, a statement on how technologies are introduced cyclically in our lifes, how new becomes old while at the same time giving an ironic bite in the new media art practice and culture.
