Hi!
I just wanna share a really cool documentary about fractals.
In my opionion this goes hand in hand of what David speaks about. It's infinite and always unique. And very very beautiful. :)

Enjoy!

i found a piece of free software where you can generate your own fractals:

it's pretty cool, i just don't have the time to really pick it apart.

i started punching buttons, and i came up with this:

They look a lot like the kind of patterns you see when you trip on drugs. Also isn't Arthur C Clarke describing a hologram when he talks about magnifing the fractal lol. Check out all them spirals!
