I just lost all sense of time.


Time? I don't conform to the abstract parsing and measuring of the temporal dimension, maaaaaaaaan.

Is this actually a fractal?

If it were actually fractal all of the detail would exist without needing to be transformed, only zoomed in on. It's a looping animation reminiscent of fractals. But for the purposes of being trippy, it's close enough.


Figured as much

I would like to have hands at the ends of my fingers - very useful for fine detailed work - though I suspect they would need a much bigger brain to drive them, and would break very easily.
I would settle for a third arm coming out of the middle of my chest.


Get a brain cluster.

...and the *quality!

Wow. That is trippishly good *quality.

Awesome! Great find QM! Thanks! Yeah, I *think* I can see the screen where the fractal was, but he never focuses on it. Brings back memories, this.

True story- My favourite part of this ride wasn't the ride itself, it was actually in the corridor on the way to the ride. As well as these videos, they had a bunch of mad-science lab decorations scattered about. One of the decorations was a computer monitor that was showing an animated Mandelbrot zoom. This would have probably been in around 1991 or 1992.
I was already familiar with the concept of zooming in on the Mandelbrot set, but remember back in those days it would take minutes or even sometimes hours to render each frame. It had never occurred to me to make an animation of a zoom. It totally and utterly mesmerized the twelve year old me. It was the worst thing being in a line and not getting to just stand and watch it- the line moved and I couldn't block people, so I only really caught a glimpse of it. It was really just a few seconds ping-pong loop, but wow. What an effect.
When I first saw the program Xaos running on a (then) modern computer, probably an early pentium or something, I knew for sure that it was the future. Realtime animated fractal zooms, WTF!
I wonder if there are any photos or videos of the decor of the corridor from that ride?


Hhaa, Blue Man Group uses that too IIRC. I love the 3D ones now! I want a screen saver of it!
