Brave Bulging Buoyant Clairvoyants



The above video is a music video created by the band Wild Beasts and they're performing the song Brave Bulging Buoyant Clairvoyants. Almost immediately you can see the that this music video uses recursive art (also known as fractal art) to continually move the view of the camera deeper and deeper into this seemingly endless picture. However, it should be noted that this isn't exactly a perfect rendition of fractal art. The basis for the fractal visualization is usually a picture frame. This picture frame isn't actually a complete picture frame, since it loops around and actually connects to the next level's picture frame. As such, you aren't going in to a picture within a picture, but more like a picture that never ends. Regardless, this is an amazing visualization process that definitely mystifies the viewers.

Besides the fractal artistry within the music video, we also see many other interesting pieces of art, such as the frame turning into a human torso that we delve deeper and deeper through. I'm sure there is a greater meaning behind all of the metaphors inside the video, which only increase the "artistic worth" of the video itself.
