=Fractals=

Fractals are shapes that contain infinite details the further you zoom in.

Can be generated natively with [[After Effects]] or with the "Mandelbot" plugin in [[Chosen Few FX]].

Similar concept to Sierpinski's Triangle but with squares.

==Analog Recursion==

A type of [[Analog Distortion]], this style of recursive editing involves ''filming'' the output while piping that input as the output, live. This is commonly also known as a '''feedback loop''' and can create effects that range from rainbow trails to fractal patterns.
