Abstract/Artist Statement
Loop is a free, easy to use web-based chat and social media platform. Users can sign up, create a list of their favorite subjects, and immediately start enjoying conversations with others who have chosen the same topics. Topics of conversation can be anything, from the most broad fields like sports and music, to specific people and events like Albert Einstein or the moon landing. Through their conversations, users can bring about new innovative ideas, or simply discuss their fond memories. It is hoped that this platform will allow people to connect faster and share their experiences and ideas in an entirely new way. Loop can be thought of as a combination of many existing popular social media sites, merged into one. Users can have a profile that they customize which will show off their topics and ideas, and also chat about anything they’d like with other users. Once they feel they have talked enough about a category, they can freely add other topics to their profile to advertise their interests, then join with others and learn much more about them.
