That's a LOT more impressive than I thought! Very good! I suppose the image sharpener is taking the tiniest fringes and amalgamating them into those wavy lumps, so as the image zooms into itself, the little edges become bigger. Then it's "memory" is just the memory of the LCD panel, or in the past it would have been the persistence of phosphors on a proper CRT TV. Try it with a CRT if you can. A long time ago there was a video artist who did "analogue fractals" with the same basic method. One thing he did was put 2 TVs of different size next to each other, and filmed them both. You could also try the camera upside-down, but that would work better with a CRT since that actually scans the image into existence rather than presenting it all at once like a TFT LCD does. There's so much you could do with this! You've already found one interesting aspect but I bet there's hours, adding up to days and weeks, of stuff you could explore with just a camera and a CRT or two, or LCD if that's all you have. Maybe other filter circuits have other interesting artefacts. Maybe add a flashing light to the border of the screen (or ideally, screens). With your analogue video stuff, there's a lot of potential to explore.

Lot to unpack there :D Um.. so I do have a crt tv and have been fiddling around with it for a while, I’m actually working on recreating part of the original doctor who intro, I only have one crt and I don’t have a good way to put it near any of the other TVs in my house, but I might try to find other interesting stuff. Like code parade’s video where he uses a webcam. As a quick aside, I found a cable that has a male 3.5mm jack on one end and a male component cable on the other, I found that I can plug the cord into the video input of a crt and it shows the signal as horizontal lines! I know this could be done with a normal component cable, but that doesn’t give very bright results. I think the component signal expects an amp on the receiving end. Also I can plug this into other things that don’t have a component cable.

@@DeclanDoesCameraThings What, you mean feeding sound into the video input? Interesting! Would be cool to try record video onto audio tape, but I doubt you'd get much. There's stuff you can do taking a CRT to bits to access the circuits directly that direct the beam, so you can drive in with a different pattern than the normal scan. Lots of potential to electrocute yourself, and break your equipment, there, it's thousands of volts with enough backing behind it to finish you off easily. It's for electron-heads, but still interesting to talk about. Yeah you could try the multiple-TV setup with one CRT and some LCDs as well, maybe. Particularly though the upside-down thing I think benefits from a CRT, since the CRT is scanning top-down, left-right, where the camera is doing the opposite, since it's upside-down. Might end up being effects to do with phosphor delay, since technically by the time the scanning beam gets to the bottom of the screen, the top has already faded away and stopped glowing, that's persistence of vision, in your eyes, that keeps the whole picture visible. I dunno, it's stuff to think about though, eh? If you ever see a little B/W security monitor that might be handy, small enough to manipulate and mess about with. Overall I'm just saying "cool video, man!" There's endless stuff you could think up like this, but your example is very impressive the way it all holds together, especially since you can navigate and it just makes the scenery up as it goes along, with zero computers whatsoever. AI video made from thin air! Talking of audio tape, you ever hear of the Fisher Price PXL2000? From 1987. Honest-to-gods camcorder, for kids, using audio tape! It ran the tape at about 4x normal speed, was B/W only, and had not just bad image quality, but bad in a unique way. Back in the early 2000s there was a resurgence of video artists using them, so they were ridiculously expensive on Ebay. Dunno if that's still the case or if the belts in them haven't all rotted to uselessness. It's something curious I thought you might be interested to know.

I grew up in the 80's/90's and I've never seen this before. That was cool! I knew about the sort of "infinity mirror" effect pointing the camera at the TV with a live feed, but that was it.

We used this technique for years for making visuals at rave parties we would pass the signal back into a video FX unit and get even better fractals and yes they are actually fractals, it is great fun to do, very trippy indeed.

Yo this is so cool! You should set your camera up on a stand once it's locked in on this, and make an actual recording that's like an hour long where people can just stare at it! 😮

I thought you were just showing video feedback until you mentioned the sharpening effect. This was really cool! I stumbled onto the whole video feedback art community on KZbin last year and the kind of rigs people have built out of wood and multiple screens are so cool! Highly recommend checking some of those out if you haven't already.

oh my gosh, I've been trying to figure out how this specific feedback effect works (specifically the worm like structures it seems to generate) for ages! It surprises me it's something as simple as sharpening 😅Thanks a lot, it's great to see more videos documenting feedback techniques, there aren't nearly enough out there atm!

This isn’t reminiscent of fractals, that is a fractal period. Really cool stuff. The math behind this must be insanely cool.

Dude, this is one of the most interesting things I've ever seen! This is the epitome of entertaining! I'm so curious about how this works, I've never seen anything like this before. Getting this just from pointing a camera at a TV with inage sharpening is so bizzare. I wish I could try this now.

You might also like the fractal generator at the Math Museum in NY City. They aren't relying on artifacts though; just time-delayed feedback, some cameras on swivel mounts, and projectors mounted at jaunty angles.

I used to mess with our family’s camcorder and never found this…I’m almost kicking my butt considering how often I pointed it at the T.V and had much much lamer effects by comparison. Thank you for this actually super entertaining video! Especially finding this outta the blue after midnight haha.

You should really capture a direct feed of this, perhaps record it to a VHS tape or something. I'm absolutely blown away by how cool it looks, it reminds me strongly of obscure '80s home video logos

Looks a bit like a reaction-diffusion, where a loop of blurring and sharpening leads to these evolving worm like structures. Nice find!
