Fractal visionaries:

A proper work of fractal art should get attention.  It should cause viewers to ask, "what is it?"  Today's fractal brought quite a few comments, (not all complimentary).  It takes 15 minutes to build on a 486 100mhz machine.  A bit more detail shows up if the passes is set to 1, but then the fractal takes over an hour to run.
