Along this line - other than the kinetoscope loops are their kin from the very earliest days (when they were loops because that's what the technology allowed), do most people agree that the washerwoman climbing the stairs in Ballet Mecanique was the first loop? Always been curious about that. Pretty sure there were no audio loops before that.

Of course, one of the ways cinema got its start was in showcasing simple looped images, but I'm particularly interested in its role in avant-garde film, expanded cinema, video art, etc. Articles about repetition as a technique would be of interest too, though those are a bit easier to come by. Thanks! Jen
