See A292687 for the decimal representation of a(n) viewed as a "binary number", i.e., as written in base 2.
The Sierpinski carpet (A153490) can be seen as 2-dimensional version of this 1-dimensional variant. The classical Sierpinski gasket triangle (Pascal's triangle mod 2) and "Rule 18" (or Rule 90, A070886) and "Rule 22" (A071029) have similar graphs.
The n-th term a(n) has 3^n digits, the middle third of which are all zero. The digits of a(n) are again the first and last 3^n digits of a(n+1), separated by 3^n zeros.

			a(0) = 1 -> 101 = a(1);
a(1) = 101 -> concat(101,000,101) = 101000101 = a(2).

a(n+1) = convert(5*a(n), from base 8, to base 2).
a(n+1) = (100^(3^n)+1)*a(n).
a(n) = Product_{k=0 .. n-1} (100^(3^k)+1).
