![]() ![]() Their objective is to use the beauty of fractals to inspire interest in science, math and art. You may be interested to know that there is an organisation called The Fractal Foundation in Albuqurque, USA, that is devoted to the promotion of fractals in their many forms. Desmond Paul Henry was one of the first British artists to experiment with machine-generated visual effects.Merrin Parkers is from New Zealand and specialises in fractal art.Carlos Ginzburg has explored fractal art and developed a concept called "homo fractalus" which is based around the idea that the human is the ultimate fractal.Scott Draves is credited with inventing flame fractals.Aren’t they fabulous!įractal art by Helene Kippert, courtesy of Fine Art America.ĭon't you just love how the chaos of the art world inspires people across the world! There are too many artists to cover here, but if you're interested in this type of art here are some names of some other inspiring artists who have pushed the boundaries even further: ![]() It's a swirling, feathery, seemingly organic landscape that is reminiscent of the natural world, but is nonetheless completely virtual. ![]() And this allows us to see mathematics visualised in a most glorious and remarkable way. The Mandelbrot Set is an Abstract Fractal which can be generated by a computer calculating a simple equation over and over. One particular set of complex numbers was introduced by him in 1979, and was later named The Mandelbrot Set in tribute to this mathematical genius and visionary. So the goal of science is starting with a mess, and explaining it with a simple formula, a kind of dream of science". It's marvellous, a very simple formula explains all these very complicated things. They were there, even though nobody had seen them before. "Exploring this set I certainly never had the feeling of invention. He describes his feelings in a documentary with science writer Arthur C. Mandelbrot, however, never felt he was inventing a new idea. Using the newly developed IBM computers at his disposal in the 1960s and 70s, Mandelbrot was able to create fractal images using graphics computer code. Courtesy of Wikipediaīenoit Mandelbrot was a pioneer of fractal geometry. ![]()
