There were Technicolor Super 8 projectors which have a reloadable endless loop cartridge. Just slots into the projector like an 8-Track. I've seen them used by a couple of different filmmakers for installations and expanded cinema performances. The projectors are not terribly bright (150 watt, maybe?), and the cartridges can jam, but having the film enclosed keeps it a lot cleaner than a loop running around the room on rollers.
We had an installation at Antimatter a couple years ago by Kyle Whitehead that used two of these (highly modifed) projectors and it ran relatively trouble-free for the 10 days. Alex MacKenzie had a performance some years back using three of them and a multitude of cartridges loaded with his own rephotographed and hand-processed loops.

Hi there,I was wondering if anyone could help me or advise me on how to show Super 8 film. I want to show my films with a Super 8 projector so it is in the correct format, but I also want to have my films on a loop. Does anyone know how to loop films easily? I was told that I could loop the film over spools hanging from the ceiling.I would potentially have more than one film being shown through one projector - is it possible to loop several films? I am currently using a Eumig projector and my main concern is that it may overheat?Any advice would be great!Thank you, and best wishes,Imogen
