I used to play with that concept with a video camera hooked up to a tv screen. Zooming and twisting were especially cool. Anyone tried that?
Given arbitrarily small pixels and an arbitrarily large camera lens, you image would be trapped there forever, becoming smaller and smaller in time. What's more, your entire escape would be there, a frozen sequence of images ever receding into yet more distant instances of your monitor, but never disappearing completely. Cool.
Welcome to the game.
