in 1991, professor Richard Dawkins gave the Royal Institution Christmas Lectures. I have taken some parts of it and weaved them through a wondrous journey through fractal time and fractal space.

Background

The title of this lecture by Richard Dawkins has always really struck me as something beautiful and I'd been wanting to use it for Dream/Iterate. But that would've been plagiarizing.
In this case it makes sense because I've used the audio from the actual lecture, as recorded by the Royal Institution in 1991.

I thought it would be a fun experiment to try and have a voice-over guide you through the fractals, but it was hard to find a voice that made sense of this senseless place.
Obviously, nothing that Dawkins talks about has much to do with what you see, but I still think it's interesting, and it puts our minds into a particular direction in order to create meaning.

If you think the text is too much - or if you think the subject matter is not interesting, you can also listen to his talking more as ambient sound, as I used to do back in school, as the monotonous voice of the teacher would blur away as I was staring out of the window, daydreaming of fractal universes.
