"Loops got its name from the circular movements Merce could do with his wrists . . . sometimes Merce set the order of the Loops sections by chance operations [4] . . . The 2008 version [an abstract digital portrait of Merce Cunningham that runs in real time and never repeats] is open source, part of the Loops Preservation Project. The project addresses cultural memory as endangered by the computer age — an age that perhaps offers a solution . . ." - The OpenEnded Group [5]

". . . we’re trying to change the eco-system of digital art and performance . . . how digital art is taught and thought about . . . the very thing that we are trying to address in this “preservation project”: that is preservation itself . . . what if performance (or installation) of an artwork counted as distribution?" - The OpenEnded Group [6]
