Gridcosm
Gridcosm is a collaborative art project
in which artists from around the world contribute images to a
compounding series of graphical squares.
Each level of Gridcosm is made up of nine square images arranged
into a 3x3 grid.
The middle image is a one-third size version of the previous level.
Artists add images around that center image until a new 3x3 grid is
completed, then that level itself shrinks and becomes the "seed" for
the next level. This process creates an ever expanding tunnel of images, the newest level a direct result of the previous level which is a result of the previous level... and so on.
