What DrosteDive shows
DrosteDive is built on the Droste effect, the picture that contains itself: orange and red squares nest into one another forever, spiral around, and the camera dives toward the centre without ever reaching it.
The speed of the dive follows the tempo, the spiral tightens on the build-ups and the picture flips on the drops. A hypnotic world for techno, trance and psytrance, best seen big.
