Fractal Robot

By Miss Cellania in Art on Jul 13, 2008 at 7:40 am

SEVERAL years ago, I built a robot whose sole purpose in life was to create an even smaller robot just like himself… So much like himself, that this robot endeavoured to create yet another tiny robot, ad infinitum. This continued for a while until an extremely tiny speck of robot tried to endow purpose upon a cloud of molecules with ruinous result.

It’s really a virtual art project that you can manipulate. Try it out yourself! Link -via Dump Trumpet

Neat stuff from the NeatoShop:

Wow. After close to 20 minutes I actually got to the end. Hilarious and totally worth it!

@_@ Agh, my head. I think it continues looping because I didn’t get to any end. Didn’t have the patience to zoom in/out. However, interesting concept with a cool story for sure!

Justag Aye, there is no end.
The outermost robot models just delete themselves as you zoom in and the smaller one becomes visible.
