Hi /sci/.

I have a picture of a huge, 800x800 maze. When I view it in an image viewing program and start resizing the window, this starts to happen (see pic). What is this effect called and why does it happen? I know it's got something to do with rendering but I'm curious what exactly is going on. I had an idea that this effect might perhaps be turned into a noise generator of sorts.

Top left is how the should look like when sized down, the other versions are anomalies that appear when I resize the window about.
