There are two processes in the generation of fractal images: the first is discovery, by which the dreamer identifies the visual representation of the mathematical fractal reality that appeals to their imagination; the second is creativity, by which the artist interprets their findings and portrays them visually. The first stage… Read More »Dreamers and Artists
Many of the pictures shown on this website —such as the one above— are 2D images obtained from various areas of the renowned Mandelbrot Set. This emblematic figure, recognized as one of the most complex mathematical objects, is the epitome of the fractal art style. For many years, people have… Read More »Navigating the Mandelbrot Set
When somebody creates something and starts calling it a work of art, an eyebrow (or two) may raise on someone else’s face when hearing the comment… or after seeing the piece in question (let’s think about a visual representation as an example since there’s only pictures on this website). Is… Read More »Snapshot or Artwork?
If something already characterizes this third decade of the 21st century it’s Artificial Intelligence, commonly referred to as AI. The increasingly popular chatbots are the de facto liaisons between humans and machines. Though lacking consciousness or self-awareness (as of right now), these autonomous techie assistants do show some personality patterns… Read More »A conversation with a chatbot
Though I’m not actively making (or taking or creating or whatever) fractal pictures as I used to do, I take the time to revisit this website at least once a year to keep the —still— relevant information up-to-date. Lately, that task has become manageable because the fractal hype of the… Read More »1998/2025… still here
One of humanity’s favorite hobbies is to classify everything by giving it names. Nothing can exist without at least a common designation. And so it happens that, at some point —probably in the late 1970s— it became necessary to distinguish a novel type of computer-generated images from the sample pages in the catalog of… Read More »Defining fractal art: A “history” (kind of)
