when you first discover fractals, they present an interesting concept on a mathematical level

and then you see the art they produce


and you wonder why benoit "rear end bug" mandlebrot never had children or to be fair even any friends at all

there is more beauty in a single blade of grass, than there is in every fractal based piece of art ever conceived

i loving hate that anytime anyone is trying to be like "hey math is cool" they always whip out the loving mandelbrot set visualizations with no discussion about the mathematics behind it

fractals are ruining math much like this dude

a blade of grass expresses a truth, the plant's adaptation for survival and the process by which that adaptation was constructed. it expresses the continual incorporation of non-living matter into life. if you are jesus-inclined it expresses the truth of a god that allowed such a thing to exist

what truth does fractal art express? does it express mathematical platonism, the exploration of the world of ideas? the pythagorean idea of mathematics in all things? (then why is it necessary to involve the computer, which was already understood to be mathematical?) does it merely express "I have an expensive computer"? on what basis can a fractal image be regarded as something other than high-end kitsch?

yes

self similarity is the only part of fractals that would be useful anyway


it’d be like using pi to make a picture.. i mean i guess the reasoning behind pi being the way it is is interesting but using this effectively random string of numbers to generate something is so worthless and devoid of humanity

like all fractal art
