Mandelbrot Assemblage



Description
"Mandelbrot Assemblage" is based on the idea in Mandelbrot Birth and Evolution whereby the exponent "n" in the equation z^n+c is manipulated as the principal variable in the animation. However, for this animation, the exponent "n" is decreased from 40 to 2. Furthermore, rather than showing the entire set, the animation zooms in on Seahorse Valley and tracks its evolution as the exponent is reduced to 2. Note that the location is not fixed in this case since the location of Seahorse Valley moves as the exponent is changed.

Music
"Escape" (edited for length) by Dark Flow.
