Pixellated Video Feedback

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.
More details and examples can be found in Fractals in pixellated video feedback.
