PERFECTL00P, known as Perfect Loop, is a multidisciplinary artist based in the mountains of Colorado, USA, whose work fuses retro computing culture with layered, time-based digital media. He began his career as a sound designer and composer for interactive media, and traces his approach to visual looping to techniques such as fading audio in and out and building seamless sound loops.
He traces his interest in retro computing to early encounters with the Nintendo Entertainment System and early personal computers. Blocky pixels, the glow of tube televisions and monitors, and early Windows and Mac icons remain recurring visual references in his work. His high-contrast, high-saturation style is a deliberate choice, meant to cut through the volume of imagery competing for attention online. He treats the loop both as a formal device and as a conceptual metaphor, drawing on a fascination with cinemagraphs and looping imagery such as falling leaves or a flickering television. He lives with his family in the mountains of Colorado, where he homeschools his children and values a quieter pace of life, a contrast he sees as central to the rhythm of his work.
