Conception of the project
| |
In the design
of Web page "Chaos of Fractals" my primary aim is to demonstrate
the aesthetic beauty of fractals and possibility to use fractals in
the contemporary art including graphic design. I am not going to explain
algorithms and formulas of the fractal geometry but to initiate people
to pay much more attention to the immeasurable beauty of fractal forms
in nature and fractal like chaos and order of the Universe, which
is the basis of our life and our body. I offer a little travel through
the fractal world including picturesque examples of nature, human
body, mathematical forms and artworks. My Web page includes rather
different interactive shows: flash movies, picture's galleries, video
and texts. |
Shortly
about the Fractals
Fractals are forms and regularities in which nature manifests its beauty,
irrationality and determined chaos. Fractals are highly complex dynamical
systems which exist in the Universe, nature, environment, geographical
lines of the continents, clouds, flowers, human body, and human brain
processes. Such systems are always on the move, changing and never precisely
recycling to their initial states. In 1975 scientist B.Mandelbot used
the word "fractal" (latin. fractus - to refract, to brake, to
create irregular broken fragments) to name his new geometrical theory
- fractal geometry. Fractals mean fragmented and irregular entities, they
appear as chaotic dynamical systems with the principle of autosimilarity.
Order and chaos, peculiar to fractals, reflect the relationship of the
whole and the significance of each individual part. Fractal geometry can
unite mathematical principles and art creativity. It is very characteristic
that the first image of nonlinear equatation was created by collaboration
between an graphic designer J.Bacon and scientist G.Mayer-Kress. Theory
of fractals is close to modern aesthetics and offers possibility to create
unusual artworks.
