I looked once and thought it was just your average fractal thing, then realized that its not
Similar to some visuals I have on acid -

Each copy of yourself seems to have a slightly different personality/outlook on the situation, very weird fractal tripping

That's badass. It like the reflecting mirrors illusion, without the mirrors.

Its a mathematical algorithm within a program called Gimp, i believe.
Its based on drawings by Escher.
Very interesting stuff , especially good to look at on the comedown of a trip.

Yeah, its a mathematical formula you can apply it to any image. You need a special program (not photoshop), but its essentially self-automated.
It's called the "Droste effect." Wikipedia's entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Droste_effect
Here's a tutorial on how to do it: http://www.flickr.com/photos/joshsommers/sets/72157594515046947/
