Zoom on a fractal

Note how the zoom is "seen" as a rotation. It is even more visible if one hides one half of the QuickTime movie above. It is due to the fact that the generator has a slope at the origin (here, the center of the screen). Also note that the appearent rotation change its direction when one reverses the "direction" of the zoom. Yes! Try yourself! or let the movie go back automatically.
