Made a video for an art exhibition.

Kudos to Snorre, who randomly asked me if I could make some 3D fractal videography. I had no idea what that was, but the question was asked, and I know computers, so there must be some answer waiting to be found. The seed was planted. It's one of those vague positives. You say yes but you don't know yet how it will turn out.

A 30 minutes three-dimensional fractal video. Real CPU-calculated frames. One month of tinkering/designing/rendering, 600 GB of high definition images. Presented with live ambient and techno music at Bergen Kunsthall (Landmark).

Please note that this video (web optimized) is 4GiB and may buffer on slow connections.
