We think the best answer is found by looking at what fractal artists are displaying on the internet. Here’s a collection of links that should leave you better informed about what fractal art is, and can be, as told by the artists themselves with their actual artwork, not words. Check back here from time to time because the collection isn’t permanent and will change as fractal art on the internet evolves.
