This reminds me of how fascinated I was as a kid of the artifacts you get from recursively photocopying a piece of paper.

I watched someone in the printer room at the computer science department gradually photocopy from white to black, and back again, over the span of 300 pieces of paper, by altering the thresholds of the photocopyer.

They didn’t graduate to become computer scientists, but did indeed get admitted to the royal school of art the year after.

I found it strangely therapeutic.
