"[10] Warchol further suggest that, "each component highlights the thread-by-thread and frame-by-frame construction of woven textiles and videos, respectively, as well as the writing (or drawing) that is a necessary, though often hidden, step in the process.
"[10] Korot described a related epiphany she had during this time period: "I simultaneously had intensive experience working with one of the most ancient of communications technologies, the loom; one of the most modern, video; and the most prevalent, print.
While instant storage and retrieval systems characterize modern technology, tactility and human memory remain earmarks of more ancient tools.
The work explores the non-decorative meaning and numerical basis of abstract patterns, with Korot understanding the loom and its use of punch cards, to be an early form of communication technology.
[20][21][22] Two video/music collaborations with Steve Reich (The Cave, 1993, and Three Tales, 2002) brought video installation art into a theatrical context and have been performed worldwide since 1993 to the present (2023).
The article was titled "Modern Folk Tales and Ancient Stories: a Conversation with Beryl Korot and Steve Reich".
"[25] For her latest show at bitforms gallery, Rethinking Threads, Korot constructed a very primitive loom which allows her to use different materials to weave.
"[11] Korot previously said that the drawings for Text and Commentary were begun in a hotel room in Venice, Italy: "I was thinking of the times we live in and people on the move.
"[26] Korot's current practice continues her inquiry into the numerical basis of abstract patterns laid down on the grid by programmed threads.
The freedom in a sense comes from the infinite choices of sourced raw material via camera or digital online files imported into Photoshop and sent to a printer.
