Who says mathematicians can't have fun. New Orleans natives Stacy Molinary and Frank Otillio both with Mathematics degrees from The University of New Orleans take a trip to the lighter side of math with works developed through the use of fractals.
There are many ways to define fractals, possibly the most basic is as follows: an object which appears self-similar under varying degrees of magnification. In effect, possessing symmetry across scale, with each small part of the object replicating the structure of the whole.
With a little coaxing to the formulas and a lot of digital texture overlays and color, the process of creation can grow from a boring repetitive geometric shape to a beautiful piece of art. These aren't your parents' fractals. |
