droste effect

🌀

droste-effect.html

Step into a recursive visual universe where perception loops endlessly into itself. Droste Effect is an interactive WebGL-based exploration of infinite regress and spatial self-reference. The link invites you to experience the uncanny aesthetics of the Droste effect—a visual phenomenon where an image contains a smaller version of itself, which in turn contains an even smaller version, and so on, folding visual reality into a paradox of infinite interiority.

Manipulate parameters like zoom, offset, and recursion scale to warp space and disrupt linear perspective. Each iteration reveals not just a mathematical loop, but a philosophical meditation on time, self-similarity, and the recursive architecture of consciousness.

This digital experiment is part of orb.blue’s broader inquiry into perceptual nonlinearity, temporal collapse, and the aesthetics of impossible spaces
