Jessica Roman reminded me of some useful links that I shared with a previous class about fractals. Since this came up in the Manovich reading, perhaps some of you would like to check them out:

After today’s class, write a comment on this blog post of at least 250 words summarizing your reading and today’s lecture. Focus on Manovich’s five principles of new media in your response.
