I got the idea after looking at two mirrors, how they curved to infinity. And I thought about camcorder taping a TV that displayed what you were currently taping (did this at Walmart, interesting effects if you twist the camcorder).
So, thus you have it, snowglobes inside each other, filled with tiny
flakes, receding into infinity.

There is an artist who puts interesting objects in a box where the front panel is one way mirror (so you can see into the box) and the back of the box is normal mirror. This idea reminded me of that but I can't find him on google. |

I believe the word you're looking for is 'Recursion,' not 'Redundancy.' |
|
| |
If I read this correctly, you mean that each "flake" in the snowglobe is itself a tiny snowglobe, filled in turn with even tinier snowglobes. |
|
| |
sp: Snowglobe, not snowglode. |

[ffire] Now that would be cool! |
|
| |
I took this idea as the camcorder recording a display recording of a snow-globe. Like when you stand in front of a mirror with a mirror behind you... behind you, behind you, behind you, behind you, behind you... |
|
| |
Also cool, but ever decreasing physical miniatures within miniatures is great. The thought of nano-snow-globes just makes me smile. How could it not? |
|
| |
[ffire] that was on purpose hee hee! I was wondering when someone would notice! |
|
| |
[DesertFox] Suuuuuuure it was...
*Strokes chin skeptically* |
|
| |
Make it oblong - then it's no globe... |
|
| |
So what happens if the snow in one globe finishes settling before the others? Do you just shake everything up again? |
|
| |
[Jscotty] There is but one globe, infinitely reflected. Therefore, all the globes will settle in sequence, their gentle choreography separated only by lightspeed delay. |

friendlyfire & DF read the description of looking into two
mirrors in the book "The Third Policeman" by Flann

it sounds like a ball shaped infinity mirror?
If it is then would not the opposite side of the ball do as the second mirror.
It would, possibly, need a couple LEDs or it might look a bit bark. |
|

I wonder what the effect would be like with a plasma ball? |
