I can certainly admire Richard Voss's "Fractal Planetrise According to
Benoit Mandelbrot" as an exercise in mathematics.  And, yes, I do
agree that it blows Walter Wright's untitled picture away,
visually.

But frankly, neither of them makes me @i[feel] anything inside.
Neither evokes any sort of emotion from me.  And, to me,
emotional content is one of the things that differentiates, for
instance, designs (I am @i[not] saying that Voss's work is a design!)
from art.

What do you think?
