It became apparent during the last decade that in several questions in classical complex analysis extremal configurations are fractal, making them very difficult to attack: it is not even clear how to construct or describe extremal objects. We will argue that the most promising approach is to consider conformally self-similar random configurations, which should be extremal almost surely.
