Ah! then the passive looping is probably great for stimulating (un)conscious inspiration. Good luck with your PhD!
Thank you for the kind words. I am an art historian currently doing a PhD where I investigate the use of digital methods for art historical research. So my usual work is more academic in nature. In the meantime though, I work closely together with a developer and we like to create all sorts of visualizations, put together datasets, etc.
For The Met Globe we actually just wanted to create something nice for a large touch screen setup we have in our department. So the idea is that when people sit down for coffee and chat, they might get (un)consciously inspired by beautiful historical artefacts. There is a picture of setup on my twitter account: https://twitter.com/FloorKoeleman/status/908239636660736001
