    All aspects of life and existence continuously duplicate.

    Life is a Fractal Abstraction
    "When one sets his or her sight to the majestic beauty of nature, it is immediately obvious that the world we live in is not composed of simple and rigid geometrical shapes and forms. Rather, the natural world is a chaotic display of endlessly diverse and sporadic fragmented figures, holding to no fixed mathematical formula or law. Before the late 1800s, mathematicians tried earnestly to wash their hands of the unpredictable chaos that they saw running rampantly throughout the universe. Desperate measures were made to tame the rebellious ways of this intangible reality, but to no avail. Mathematicians finally gave the reigns to chaos, not because they lost hope but because they realized that chaos would lead them to the Holy Grail of mathematical theory they so desperately sought. This epiphany came to them in the late 1800s and was embraced in the 1960's by mathematician Benoit Mandelbrot. Mandelbrot discovered a simple mathematical formula that could be plugged into a computer and literally looped and multiplied infinitely, thus creating a multi-dimensional image consisting of self-similar duplications of itself which is known today as Fractal Geometry. Nothing seems more random and chaotic than fractals, yet they evoke a sense of order and holistic unity rarely seen in nature by the naked eye. What is compelling about Fractal Geometry is not only the aesthetic beauty of the images it creates, but also its universal application. In the book ‘Exploring Chaos’, Mandelbrot says, “Fractal Geometry plays two roles. It is the geometry of deterministic chaos and it can also describe geometry of mountains, clouds, and galaxies.” Although it is not widely known, the basic traits of a fractal can be applied to all aspects of life, because life exists in the form of a fractal abstraction."

    Spend a little time discovering the fractal patterns hidden within this Mandelbrot Set

    The almost infinite became possible once vector images replaced pixels.

    Adobe is literally one of the most important companies on the planet.

    I assume these are "just" complex Illustrator projects. You would have to design them from the inside out. In reverse of how they are viewed.

    This guy has a whole feed of his amazing stuff.

    Had to laugh and agree with one of the comments, almost expected to be rick rolled at the end.
