I was asked to speak to an Art Appreciation class at Oakland College last Wednesday about fractal art and I talked about how you could keep zooming in to a fractal for an infinity and the patterns would never be the same, even if it were the size of the universe. This animation shows that theory in practice, by diving into the Mandelbrot set until finally, if the frame were the size of your screen, the full set would be larger than the known universe.



(Aside, if you would like to see the presentation I delivered to the class, you can find it here. Of course, you'll not be able to hear the lecture and the portions I elaborated on as there is not any sound attached.)
