The operator at the helm of the Device uses high definition analog video feedback fractals to create spirals
within spirals, loops within loops, galaxies, cell structures, strands of DNA, trees, insects, tentacled primordial creatures, and classic fractal images. It really is the
God machine.
"It really is quite tangled...very impressive. Lots of wonderful fern-like stuff, also some jellyfish-like stuff, and the Sierpiński gasket now and then. Congratulations!"
- Douglas Hofstadter
"I like what you are doing very much. It's fascinating. Reminds me of the days when I was playing - experimenting - discovering."
- Heinz-Otto Peitgen
See the Device in Make Magazine, on boingboing, again on boingboing, on kottke, on hackaday, on slaschcam, on reddit, watch an artist's interpretation, and read a review by Rich Walkling.
The HD Video Feedback Kinetic Sculpture creates fractals and
organic-looking images in real-time, without a computer: this is
old-school video feedback.
The device has evolved
naturally since the first iteration, as have the images it creates.
