When we bumped into TraceLoops, we were immediately fascinated by this incredibly thorough and methodical exploration of different mediums in animation.
We spoke to Matthias Brown about this practice, why he’s drawn to meticulous processes and why he extensively records and shares the process behind his work.
He told us about how this type of animation is a way to understand how things work, and how, similarly to what happened to painting when photography first appeared, he feels an impulse to rethink what this medium is and what makes it special outside of a broad use-case.

9:16 is a vertical, digital gallery displaying 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, right here in our space in Bombarda. Throughout 2024, we will be showcasing the work of various artists from various disciplines of video and digital art and finally bringing media arts to one of the most creatively dynamic neighbourhoods in Porto.
