Animations of the filled in print

You can find animations of 29 distinct loops on this site. The main ones are of the Droste-picture and the Escher picture:

MPEG: 2 MB, 10 MB AVI: 2 MB, 10 MB		MPEG: 2 MB, 10 MB AVI: 2 MB, 10 MB

All animations on this site should be played in a loop. If you get asked for a plugin, you can either install the plugin or cancel whatever it is your browser wants to do, and follow the direct link to the MPEG or AVI file. Then download it and view it with your own player. In this case you need to set your player to do an infinite loop yourself.

On Windows platforms the AVI files are recommended. On a Macintosh the MPEG files are probably better. On a Linux system mplayer can play the files, and with the Plugger plugin one can play the videos in the browser window.

The files are 1-2 MB with a resolution of 256x256 pixels. In the sections marked "big" they are 5-10 MB with 400x400 pixels.
