Draves is the creator of the Fractal Flames algorithm, which has been used in numerous projects, the most prominent being Electric Sheep, generated by the artist himself. This consists of a distributed computing project, through a free downloadable screensaver that generates animations using the idle time of all the "sleeping" machines connected to this network. Thus, when a computer goes to sleep, it sends a portion of data to the system server, which the server uses to create a new fractal animation and send it back to the computer.
