Mechanical Self --similarity

Metallic Blue

The rigid self-similarity of the artifact or the approximate self-similarity of the natural.
Both have their attractions.

Electric Fern

Metallic Spiral

The unfurling of a cyber fern. Inorganic life with every atom in place and
no dislocations in the crystal structure.Respect your humanity.
 Carbon is master, silicon is servant.

The Electricity Monster

Corona Discharge

              When I first saw this I thought of a monster from some grade B movie-" Attack of the Electricity Monster" perhaps and this was its footprint. How good is modern psychiatry and what can be learned about personality from the projected meaning given to abstract patterns like clouds and fractals?

Come back soon for more speculation and iteration. - Max Iter

A Fractal Worm

Eeeeww! It's All Annelid Like!

Click to enlarge


Looks like that giant worm in that book- what was it called?
Dude? Dune? Dubious? And they had that magic powder, 
herb or spice or relish or whatever it was called.
And under the influence of the magic powder the Kommuters 
  could navigate the Public Transistor System.  
It's been ages since I read it and I can't quite remember.

For the thrilling conclusion to this story come back soon. - Max Iter

Kingdom Plantae

Cholorphyllish

Click to enlarge

The famously flexible Fractint formula parser gives this fractal a leafy appearance. The coloring gives a design that is detailed but not distracting; without an immediate visual focus it is intended as wallpaper-a background.

Suggests a cluster of galaxies rushing to a great black hole
perhaps to emerge on the other side of the universe.
