The Mandelbrot Set is an organism whose cells divide many
times in order to resolve into such an intricate and
organic form. The Mandelbrot function is embellished with
genetic tweakers, and piped through a genetic algorithm
to evolve images that approach the pixel values of a photo
of my face.

Space-filling fractal curves (see Mandelbrot's book). When curvily filling the space, the (thick) lines also change their colors, using the same recursive algorithm as that which determines the geometry of the curves. The result is chaotic tapestry. |
