The Electric Sheep and their Dreams in High Fidelity
Scott Draves talkes about the Electric Sheep screen saver. A must see.
I’ve seen variants of this theme, but this is truly chaotic and off the wall.
New Apophysis Tutorial for Beginners
In this tutorial, you’ll learn about the many features of Apophysis, including a command cheat sheet. I wrote this tutorial a couple years ago, but I think it’s better than the one I’ve offered over at DA before, so I figured what the heck. I’ll upload this one too. Some of the info might be a little dated. In order
Visprint
Visprint From the site: “Visprint makes cool fractal fingerprint PNG images based on the contents of any file. The image will be different for almost every file with even slightly different contents. Visprint uses the IFS fractal generation process pioneered by Michael Barnsley. It is a way to create images that are self-similar to infinite depths. In other words, the
Fractal Wrongness
Fractal wrongness: The state of being wrong at every conceivable scale of resolution. That is, from a distance, a fractally wrong person's worldview is incorrect; and furthermore, if you zoom in on any small part of that person's worldview, that part is just as wrong as the whole worldview. Debating with a person who is fractally wrong leads to infinite

Looking for patterns in the sequence of human heartbeats is a much studied subject; evidence for pattern-revealing characteristics such as chaos and fractal or spiral geometry have been sought.”

Inspired by Infinity
Science News The concept of infinity intrigued Escher and he wanted to capture the notion in an image somehow. Then in 1957, he read an article containing a diagram of a hyperbolic plane written by H.S.M. Coxeter, a mathematician at the University of Toronto. This was the inspiration that caused Escher to create the Circle Limit prints which in turn

http://kradeleet.com/?p=77 From the page: “Rudy (Rucker) is starting to think all this is more than just a nifty coincidence, that mathematics has just happened to stumble on a method of creating patterns that look just like so many natural patterns. In his latest post, he makes the suggestion that “God” could be a deterministic non-reversible class four paratime metaphysical cellular
