Nov 29, 2019 at 18:49 comment added Dev Sinha The underlying fact which makes this not so surprising is that totally disconnected spaces are dense in the space of all metric spaces. (Pointillism at work!)
Nov 29, 2019 at 18:48 comment added Dev Sinha I recall this being proved in Barnsley's book. Examples of what you are looking for are plentiful. Consider the IFS on the real line with two affine maps which shrink to 0 and 1 with stretch factor s, so $s=1/3$ gives the Cantor set. As $s$ passes from $s < 1/2$ to $s = 1/2$ the attractor goes from being totally disconnected to connected.
Nov 29, 2019 at 13:55 comment added Zorngo Do you know of a good reference for your second statment? I'm curious as to what happens if you go from a totally disconnected attractor to a connected attractor by continuously varying the IFS.
