You can do something similar, although not quite as intricate, by simply pointing your webcam at a computer screen that is displaying the webcam-feed. You get infinitely repeating patterns that respond in beautiful ways to subtle tilts and nudges of the webcam. It's really pretty impressive and worth 5 minutes of your time if you have an external webcam around.

Or with Mac OS X screen sharing, VNC, or similar.
Now all you need is an app that shows the video feed in multiple windows you can drag around and you can get the exact same effect.
