Skip_loop

Skip_loop (2019) is a computer-generated animation of an undulating seascape. It is an illusion of natural beauty. Although it appears to flow endlessly, its continuity of movement collapses every six seconds, when the loop repeats itself. This specific duration corresponds with the average viewing time of an artwork in a museum or gallery.

Here, Mirza highlights the impact of digital media and new technologies on our attention span and how they’ve altered the way we might look at traditional art forms.
