Trapped in the Loop

"Isn't life a series of images that change as they repeat themselves?" —Andy Warhol

This intriguing article argues that in our age of mass digital reproduction, "The Loop has become the preeminent narrative device of our time."  However, the author also acknowledges that this claim inherently re-conceptualizes our understanding of narrative from a linear story to a circular event.  As a text with no definitive beginning or end, but with a repeating and residue-filled middle, I would suggest that Junkspace fits into this discourse on the Loop as well.

As an aside, does anyone produce or consume Vines?
