Learn to recognize them and you will never again see things in quite the same way.Fractals permeate our lives, appearing in places as tiny as the surface of a virus and as majestic as the Grand Canyon. From ancient tribal peoples to modern painters to the animators ofStar Wars,artists have been captivated by fractals and have utilized them in their work.
