The beauty of aliasing

It does not happen too often, but occasionally there is beauty in things that you don't want. What I am talking about is aliasing. I guess that lies in the nature of those who like playing around with visuals. I have to admit that I am one of those persons who get inspiration from things that go 'wrong', but especially in visual arts there is sometimes no real wrong or right. Some people might say 'oh, that looks great' while others will comment that this is the most useless thing that they have seen.
Visuals are a bit like music, taste is also so different. So while I have been testing the shader pack that will be released today or tomorrow on the mental mill forum, I started cranking up some parameters. All of a sudden,  aliasing patterns appeared and that looked quite beautiful actually.

And talking about visual arts. My very first blog entry featured a fractal shader. I discovered this amazing 10 minute fractal zoom that features some tech-house sound. It might not be everybody's taste. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Quote from the video description:

For the record, 1 to 6e228 is like expanding a proton to 7000000000000000000000000000000000000000­0000000000000000000000000000000000000000­0000000000000000000000000000000000000000­0000000000000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000 times the size of the visible universe. [...]

If you were actually traveling into the fractal, you would be moving faster than the speed of light.
