The installation Looped Scroll relates to the performance Interior Scroll by Carolee Schneemann from 1975. The Zoetrope shows a particular part of it. The sound for the installation is taken from a conversation Carolee Schneemann and Stefanie Wuschitz held in September 2010. Although 1939 Pennsylvania born media artist Carolee Schneemann produced this work in 1975, today, thirty-seven years later, young Austrian female media artists seem to be confronted with similar conditions. The animation replicates the radical gesture of her generation in a model like trivialized form. With the persistence of a prayer wheel the gesture will be automated until it ceases to be needed.

Stefanie Wuschitz is a researcher, lecturer and artist based in Vienna. After graduating with honors from the University of Applied Arts Vienna in 2006 and completing her Masters at New York University\'s ITP program (2008) in the United States, Wuschitz spent a year at HUMlab in Sweden, working as a Digital Art Fellow and organizing the Eclectic Tech Carnival 2009. She founded the feminist hackerspace Miss Baltazar\'s Laboratory, a network for women artists, who share their knowledge and open source skills in a series of workshop sessions.
Her work was exhibited internationally and Miss Baltazar\'s Laboratory was invited to several festivals and conferences around the world. Among others at Harvestworks NYC (2010), Ars Electronica (2010), Transmediale (2011), Taipei Artist Village (2011), Coded Cultures (2011), TEDx (2011), Platform 4 (2011), and Frankfurter Kunstverein (2012).
