About
This is a book for art lovers, designers, and art-loving techies everywhere. A coffee-table art book filled with lush art plates that speak to the senses, the fractal images within reflect the beauty and mystery of the natural world, and demonstrate the power of computer-aided design in creating original works of art.
What is a fractal? A fractal is essentially a never-ending, repeating pattern. Fractals reflect the art of chaos, as seen in crystal growth and galaxy formation. Fractal geometry can reflect and illuminate structures and patterns found in nature-from mountains, coastlines, and hurricanes to movements of the stock market over time.
Fractals can be seen to represent a metaphor for our chaotic times, perhaps, as we attempt to understand the processes and structures, which are manifest in the chaos and ineffable beauty of our ever-changing and dynamic natural world.
In Fractals: Fractal Art, the art of chaos is brilliantly represented by Jack Cleveland's artistic sensibility and his mastery of math and computer science. Colorful swirls of recurring patterns descend smaller and smaller into imagined infinity, pleasing to the eye.
Fractal images are not made by the computer-they are not "computer-generated"-but rather are generated using computer graphics to create new and compelling works of art to represent dynamic phenomena not fully captured by classical mathematics.
