Rest in peace and thanks for all the pretty pictures

Number 1 demoscene effect. RIP

Rest in peace, Benoit Mandelbrot.

There seems to be very little evidence to suggest he is dead.

Nassim Nicholas Taleb is a collaborator of Mandelbrot.

If there's a fractal heaven, you might feel comfortable there. Rest in peace, Mr Mandelbrot.

I will always remember meeting him (together with iq and bonzaj) in madrid in 2006. A gentle man. Rest in fractal peace.

"People want to see patterns in the world. It is how we evolved. We descended from those primates who were best at spotting the telltale pattern of a predator in the forest, or of food in the savannah. So important is this skill that we apply it everywhere, warranted or not."

His work inspired the way I see the world. RIP.

Oh man :/ Rest in peace.

I'll go inspect the seahorse valley and think deep stuff now.

rest in peace, man.
Z=Z²+c forever!

Rest in Fractals...

Many demos are orphans now. R.I.P. Mandelbrot.
