A project by Nikolaus Baumgarten
Participating illustrators: Andreas Schumann, Eero Pitkänen, Florian Biege, Jann Kerntke, Lars Götze, Luis Felipe, Marcus Blättermann, Markus Neidel, Nikolaus Baumgarten, Paul Painter, Oliver Schlemmer, Sonja Schneider, Thorsten Wolber, Tony Stanley, Ville Vanninen
The Zoomquilt was created in 2004. The project was started by Nikolaus Baumgarten and emerged from a scene of people creating collaborative artworks over the internet in the early 2000's surrounding the digital art group iCE [1]. On the platform tiles.ice.org [2] people would collaborate on digital paintings. It worked similiar to the surrealist drawing game Cadavre Exquis [3]. An artist would contribute a single tile of a patchwork painting called a "Quilt". They would reserve a spot and get a frame with a border of the neighboring tiles they had to blend their artwork into. The fun of it was to pick up and transform what the other person left and see how the painting evolved in unexpected ways.
One inspiration for the Zoomquilt was the Gridcosm project [4], a similar infinite collaborative picture started in 1997 and still ongoing. On Gridcosm, anybody can contribute, which results in a very anarchic and chaotic picture. The viewer of Gridcosm also wasn't animated back then. The goal of the Zoomquilt was to create a seamlessly animated and coherent illusion. When the Zoomquilt first came out in 2004, it immediately went viral. In 2007 the successor Zoomquilt II [5] was released. Nikolaus Baumgarten revisited the concept again in 2015, together with Sophia Schomberg they created Arkadia [6], a peaceful and lush botanical fantasy plant world.
Historically, the first infinite zoom animations can be found in the two movies Cosmic Zoom [7] by Eva Szasz and Powers of Ten [8] by Ray and Charles Eames, both 1968 and both based on the 1957 children's book Cosmic View by Kees Boeke, which deals with the relative size of things in the universe.
The Zoomquilt was originally released in Macromedia Shockwave and Flash format, and ported to modern web standarts in 2013 by Nikolaus Baumgarten. A 4K Video was released on UA-cam in 2022.

I watched this SO much. Back in the early Stumbleupon days. Thanks for putting this on UA-cam.
Hi Nikolaus! I loved the first two, so It's great to see that you're back! Cheers
This is fantastic! First time here and I just love your artwork. Stunning ❤
This plus + "Ten Years Gone" by Led Zeppelin on repeat is fantastic.
Zoomquilt 10 hours loop + UA-cam Screensaver by ken_tokyo = best screensaver ever. Thank you so much for this and your other art pieces!
I can watch these videos over & over & still find something new within each passing, very kool’z 👍😎😎
Yup, this goes well with King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard as well! Very nice work😊
We had the same idea 😊 It sure does!
Great Idea and art. I really like it!
Wow wonderful
Hmmm, I thought this was supposed to be an infinitely changing painting but I see the same thing over and over with subtle changes. I’m sure very difficult to create without AI but now in 2024 to do this again but with Sora! Dude the possibilities are literally endless
This is old school my friend, 2004. Not super fond of the ai stuff, although the technology is definitely super fascinating, the results feel kind of cheap and meaningless to me. It misses the point of art. I'll stick to painting myself for now.

How long does this take to actually draw?!?!?!?!? Your artwork is just nuts! 👊
playing on a 100” screen and eaten shrooms. The trip is amazing dude.
Bro this is copied type zoom quilt on Google -_-
@@Anytimegaming310 yes
@@Anytimegaming310but you notice that the channel owner is happy to "❤" the comment, not explaining that it's not his art. That's really classy.
When I use AI art on my channel, I don't try and take credit for it.
Wow, very impressive
give me back 20 minutes in my life
💀
Really nice
sick dude
Salute to your hardwork❤
Amazing....any plans to include some new stuff for 2022 and beyond? 👍🏿
thx, working on a new zoom piece that I hope to release later this year
@@nikolausbaumgarten hey which application did you use, illustrator? or a mix of aftereffects? and is there a specific pixel size you used? thank you TT my art submission is due in 3 days but i cant seem to figure it out.
@@user-tc9rb2nh1k I paint with photoshop. I have my own custom process and the animation is done with javascript. The zoom is created through a series of interconnected images, for the first Zoomquilt 1024 * 768 px each, nowadays I work with 3000 * 2000 px. Each image step is placed at 50% size in the center of the previous one, and the painting is seamlessly continued outwards. I think there are tutorials out there on how to create an infinite zoom with after effects.
@@nikolausbaumgarten wow thank you for such a quick response ^^ i cant wait for your next zoomquilt collab c:
@@nikolausbaumgarten best news I've heard in a while! 🫠👌🏾
Incredible
Wow just wow
fantastic
This is awesome work, I’d like to see it at half speed, it’s way to fast to appreciate all of the detail…
youtube allows you to control playback speed
Very impressive!!! I would like to use the Zoomquilt single loop to make a video with my own created music (melodic tech house / techno), is that OK with you? I then refer to this video and you as the creator
Satie's : Vexation" comes to mind
play this at 10x then pause it and the middle looks like its shrinking
I still have this .swf
I Wore It for 10 hours
It's sad how stable diffusion AI can create such stuff in minutes
It's certainly interesting technology, but for me there is a misunderstanding here, as I would not call these machine generated images art. To me art is something that communicates something from a deeply human perspective. An artist decides at a certain point their painting is finished, it is what feels right to them, it tells their story. And here a painting captures a very subtle moment that is communicated to the receptive viewer. This moment is where the art happens. The machine only reproduces what it has been fed before. All these generated images are inherently soulless. They capture something else maybe, the collective average of image production, like all Midjourney generated images have the exact same kitschy vibe to me. The truly greatest paintings ever made will still be human made for a while. Still, I am full of awe and terror thinking about how these technologies will develop in the future.
If you rlly can put some music on this thing!☝️🤞🤟
Boom 💥
Bigger time 🕰️😉364 minutes
i can only imagine how long this would have taken...
It is a collaborative effort of over 15 artists created back in 2004
@@nikolausbaumgarten wow
Lan başım döndü
Again start
I remember this flash "game"
how do you do this? is it a free app or like a free website? Do you pay money?
How on earth do you make something like this??
