a lot of mud slinging going on there... too many of the members are really touchy :/
When it comes to any two people getting together to discuss the topics of "fractals" and "art", then there usually will be a lot of controversy. It was never this bad about ten years ago. But with the advent of a specific group of individuals (let's call them the "Fractali") they have done their best to control the market and ideas of what "fractal art" is.
"In the FAQ section of the calendars Fractal Forum, the editors state they try to produce a calendar that is representative of the current state of our art. Heres the link. Now I ask you. Is this statement an accurate description of the final product? Or would a more honest tag line be: a compilation of mostly fractal spiral forms made mainly using Ultra Fractal?"
Very astute observation !!
Something many of us have been saying since the beginning of that particular Calendar. They say it is "open" for anybody to submit images and participate in. But look through the history of images and those that get represented in the Calendar.
BTW -- would not the singular version of "Fractali" probably be "Fractalus" ??
