That is really, really deep. Everything a look at now appear to be 
receding away from me.

It's also very pink. I don't know what this was rendered with, but it 
seems to have a 256-colour limit, meaning that the colours repeat a hell 
of a lot. I did a zoom not unlike this using POV-Ray. Obviously the AA 
is all over the place, but it does mean I have unlimited colours, and I 
can map them as I see fit.

The location chosen is very, *very* repetitive. I mean, really, if you 
watch the first minute or two of the video, you've now seen everything 
there is to see for the entire 10 minute marathon.

Ditto for the music, actually. It's just a drum beat with some 
occasional accompaniment. I like trance music, but this is the kind of 
thing I'd routinely skip over. There's just too much drum and not enough 
notes. I also find it kind of interesting that I'm gazing at pristine 
mathematical perfection while listening to distorted gurgling electronic 
grunge.

Of course, what I'd really like to do some day is do a long fractal zoom 
(or more likely a succession of them), and spend time tweaking all the 
colours to the exact details of the fractal, and build some sort of 
soundscape that complements each feature of it. Sadly, I am drastically 
incapable of synthesizing such a transcendental fusion...
