This is a complex generative fractal program that uses a collaborative rendering technique that allows your computer to be networked with others to render visuals together that would normally take about one hour per second of runtime on an individual machine. You can upvote or downvote your favorite "sheep" using the arrow keys and that information makes it more likely (or less likely) that certain sheep "genes" will get passed on for similar sheep in future visualizations. People can also create their own sheep and enter them into the "flock". Thus, this art project evolves over time based on survival of the most beloved.
