Courtial, Leach, and Padgett have developed
a method for generating stationary (unchanging) fractal videofeedback patterns with the zoom set so the
camera sees only a portion of the monitor, a monitor-outside-a-monitor configuration. |
Lighted pixels on the monitor are magnified, then reprocessed as lighted pixels. |
That is, the pixels mask the image. |
Iteration generates this pixel mask patern at many levels. |
For example, suppose we have a hexagonal grid of pixels. |
Start with three lighted pixels sharing a common vertex and magnify by a factor of 2. |
 |
Click the picture to see the magnification. |

in pixellated video feedback. |
