| frac·tal Pronunciation: frak-t'l Function: noun Etymology: French fractale, from Latin fractus broken, uneven (past participle of frangere, to break) + French -ale -al (noun suffix) Date of first use: 1975 : Any of various extremely irregular curves or shapes for which any suitably chosen part is similar in shape to a given larger or smaller part when magnified or reduced to the same size. (source: Merriam-Webster) Fractal art is the visual depiction of complex mathematical equations. Fractal geometry is to a digital artist as a brush is to a painter: a tool for the expression of visual ideas. |
The images in these galleries are snapshots from one artist’s vision of an alternate reality he calls Fractalism. In this world, fractal geometry dictates everything, from geography to biology, just as the laws of physics dictate the reality of your familiar everyday world. We hope you enjoy your journey to Fractal Land, where Fractalism™ rules. Click here to begin your tour. |
