Come on , guys, show some fight here!
Isn't it better to have fractals even as "art" in front
of the public than have an anti-intellectual Bush administration table all science and put creationist ideas into kids heads?
I had ulterior motives for "starting something".
I thought that the "Beauty ( Art) is Truth" or " Truth is Beauty ( Art) "would get people interested. But then a lot of modern art has divorced beauty too, hasn't it?
When a fractal type says that beauty might be "built in", part of the hard wiring of the universe, that gets the real "art" types going.
In many cases in big cities art is run by the rich
and a small number of arrogant university professors and museum curators types. It seems to run more into what they can sell the public as being art, more than what is actually beautiful.
It become more like "fashion" than a discipline in which principles are applied to gain a desired response in the person viewing the art.
Fractals as art on a basic level of beauty say that there are
principles like the golden mean that have a mathematical basis for what we perceive as beauty. So it puts science and mathematics in an art class room for the first time since perspective came in in the
time of Leonardo di Vinci.

This question may seem like beating a bloody dead horse's ass since most of the fractal art people beat you up bloody when you mention anything about science and that fractals might be important other than "Lookin' good baby".
At the risk of not being popular ( that has already gone down the waterfall ... my geek status is well known) I will point out that this
newsgroup is about science fractals: sci.fractals.
It's not like that is a narrow topic as their are fractals in just about every science imaginable ( even Mathematics, ha, ha...).
My reasoning here is that the fractal art people are rude and nasty
and mostly hard to get along with( personal experience), but that is pretty much the Internet and it's people, huh?
They don't care about documenting any of the stuff they might stumble on
and in most cases are too ignorant to know it, should they stubble on something important?
So maybe their should be "standards" for even fractal artists in terms of education or training?
Or that maybe fractal artists should strive to be better educated so they can get some respect?
