As my references reveals repetition in art weather it happens in the process of making a piece, state of the final work, or a loop presentation of it, carries a meditative notion. A sort of coinciding with time and a sense of here and now.

Flow theory

Flow is the mental state of operation in which the person is fully immersed in what he or she is doing by a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and success in the process of the activity. In studying what makes people truly happy and fulfilled, university of Chicago psychologist, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, has developed this theory which has been widely referenced across a variety of fields.

According to Csíkszentmihályi, flow is completely focused motivation. It is a single-minded immersion and represents perhaps the ultimate in harnessing the emotions in the service of performing and learning. He uses flow to describe the enjoyment of engaging with a task as it occurs. The hallmark of flow is a feeling of spontaneous joy, even rapture, while performing a task. Whether playing a music instrument or chopping vegetables, one lose the sense of time. Every action, movement and thought follows inevitably from the previous one. Flow suggest that we enjoy a particular activity …because of something discovered through interaction with the world.

For millennia, practitioners of Eastern religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism and Taoism have honed the discipline of overcoming the duality of self and object as a central feature of spiritual development. Eastern spiritual practitioners have developed a very thorough and holistic set of theories around overcoming duality of self and object, tested and refined through spiritual practice instead of the systematic rigor and controls of modern science.

The phrase "being at one with things" is a metaphor of Csíkszentmihályi's Flow concept. Practitioners of the varied schools of Zen Buddhism apply concepts similar to Flow to aid their mastery of art forms. For example in yogic traditions reference is made to a state of "flow" in the practice of Samyama, a psychological absorption in the object of meditation.
