I am still undecided whether fractals should be considered art at all. I am also undecided whether the present-day images should be considered fractals or computer art. Whatever they are, the images certainly are great things to chat about. But a work of art is a recording of human emotion, rendered in such a way that those of similar psychological make-up, by experiencing the work of art, can feel some measure of the emotions the artist felt while creating the art.
The art comes in the application of color schemes, and the area chosen to view, which are both highly subjective. ============================================ Deborah Schamber UW System Institute on Race & Ethnicity EMS E379 414-229-4756
