In this exhibit, we have the architeuthidae fractalis, more commonly known as the Giant Fractal Squid. Some researchers have been known to suddenly turn to stone while observing the snake-like tentacles.

As someone who used to do a lot of work with Fractint, that looks more like a Julia Set fractal, than a Mandelbrot...although, it is true that every point in a Julia set directly translates to one in a Mandelbrot set...but it does look more like a Julia set display.

You used to work with fractint? What sort of work was that?

Yes, I used to do art with fractint. It used to be up on some on-line galleries...but they have long since disappeared, and I can't find them on my hard drive or backups...they were probably on floppys that died.

Hey, it's a basket star! They're creepy, especially when you see them moving around.

That was my reaction! All I see is an echinoderm.

Fractal dentata?

Ah, yes, that would be Haeckel; half nature illustrator, half on serious drugs. We have many of his prints on our walls.

Heh. I just started reading The Atrocity Archives today - a co-worker got fed up with asking me whether I'd read it yet every time he saw me, and finally lent me his copy :-)
