Have you seen this fractal zoom?

Last Lights On - Mandelbrot fractal zoom to 6.066 e228 (2760)

At the end there appears to be a figure that is very similar (even more than the self-similar nature of fractals themselves), almost identical to the macroscopic, total view of the Mandelbrot set.

My question: do you know how they chose the coordinates to find that shape? Is there any feasible way to search for a particular geometrical pattern within a fractal?

I studied fractals with my physics prof and comp sci prof in response to people claiming to draw meaning out of Jackson Pollock paintings via the change in fractal dimensions over his career. Example, Jackson Pollock: No. 32

Once someone learns about fractals, one sees them everywhere

Thanks for this AMA!
