I don’t dislike everything.\u00a0 The OT faithful probably know from past posts that I often see fractal art works I find interesting.<\/p>\n

When Tim and I were first forming Orbit Trap and discussing its possibilities, one idea we knocked around was to post an occasional fractal art photoblog — that is, allow the blog to function as a kind of virtual gallery by offering images without comment.\u00a0 Any reaction to the art works would come from OT’s readers in the form of comments.\u00a0 Today seems as good a day as any to start.<\/p>\n

So, here are a few pieces that have have caught my eye lately.\u00a0 Some are Phase One<\/a> works, and others are Phase Two<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Disclaimer: I might have a bigger-tent sense of what fractal art<\/em> constitutes than you do.<\/p>\n

Like or dislike, and, if so moved, feel free to say so:
