Yes, but there is a big limit, every copy occupies some memory, so your "fractal" mem size will grow exponentially (or with the factorial, or even more
) of the iterations, and the time that you "waste" putting identical layers will also grow infinitely. Why, when you can use a program like all other humans and use your time better
I agree with all of that except "use your time better" - if he enjoys doing it - then there is no better use of your time!
It comes back to the question asked earlier about whether the process matters when creating a piece of Art. If the end product is all that matters to you, then you are correct, but if the process of creating it is fun and you enjoy it - then it is the best possible use of your time. And you gets a purty pixture to look at when you are done
I have had many discussions at Art Forums about whether the finished piece even matters at all, and the act of creating it is the True Art. Art is a Process as much as a finished product. It is a Verb as much as a Noun!
This is an Age-Old Debate, and I believe both aspects are important, but the most important is what the Artist gets from the time spent making stuff. Art creates pretty pictures, but it also creates a State of Mind in the Artist. To many that is the only important thing.
