The reason for this sudden outpouring is probably not the proliferation of 
live loopers, Kris,
as much as the unbelievable proliferation of Youtube in the last year and 
a 
half
that has , in the last six months emerged from dozens of small video sites 
and sparked
Yahoo and Google to start the same kind of service.

I was reading the other day that youtube.com in a year and a half is 
suddenly streaming
30,000,000 videos a day.    There rise is just unprecedented.

I"ve started making looping videos myself in the past six months largely 
because there has
been a place to place them.

By the way,  I started the Experimental Abstract Minimal Video Group there 
if anyone is interested.

My videos, using a cheesy Radio Shack early digital camera and toy, 
battery 
operated lighting effects
 that allow me to make very lo fi visual looping videos are at

I'm making these videos to express myself and also to give a visual 
looping 
element to my next CD of
Abstract Electronica,  ORANGE.
