This next peice of work by Cécile Babiole builds on the intense sense stimulation of the previous peice. 100 Loops is a simple interactive internet peice that allows the user to click and control when each animation and its occumpanied sound is played.

The effect of this controlable "Information Bandwidth" is very interesting as it lets the user control how much information he or she can take at a time. For example when you double click 3 of the boxes you can manage to create a visual and audio rhythm that is very much like that of peice of music. But as you double click more and more of the boxes it becomes harder to both time and listen to the peice, as both animations and sound fight each other for the deminance of what Bruce Mau calls your "Sense Channels." Once all the boxes are clicked you become overstimualted by the information and everything ends up looking and sounding like a mess, your "Sense Channels" in a sense rupture.
