A German Fractal Artist Explains the Science Behind His Art Fractal art produces beautiful geometric patterns that rely on mathematical models to create their beauty. A fractal artist from Germany explains the science behind his digital creations. The sum of a calculation flows, as a numerical value, into a second calculation, and this value flows into the third etc. Many natural and man-made objects have a fractal character. It seems as if the process of knowledge brings forth fractal structures.
Mistakes are there to be made and to learn from.
This process of feedback produces its own environment, that the plant itself makes its own existence possible. Our earth is a good example of how dynamic systems reconstruct their environment to fit their own needs, and in the process change it, just because the new things added to the system require change. In the construction of fractals, almost the same mechanism is at work. In this case, we call it evolution. But with fractals, the sum of an equation is projected onto a level and receives a color.
