DIY Droste Effect




Image Credit: Droste Effect: manyone1, Original: svacher

Flickr user Pisco Bandito wrote a tutorial on how to create your very own Droste effect [wiki] photo using Mathmap for Windows and GIMP.

Or you can just gawk at the cool photos others had created at the Escher’s Droste Print Gallery [Flickr] - via Microsiervos (whom we always love!)

    It’s a neat effect, but after trying it out, I’m not impressed with the tutorial.

    I found it interesting that this art “type” is similar in concept to that of video feedback, in which an individual hooks a camcorder to a TV to broadcast what’s recorded, and then turns the camcorder back onto the TV screen, thereby creating “feedback.” This effect has been said to produce images thought to be some form of contact with the dead, although I’m dubious of the claim.
