17 COMPUTER GENERATED FRACTAL ART

This Gallery is all about fractal heros. Benoit Mandelbrot coined the term fractal in the mid 70's.  Soon fractal art became a passion as rendered pictures were so beautiful.  We honor Mandelbrot's observation that everyday objects such as coastlines   Chocolate Coast ,  snowflakes, clouds, leaves  Fractal Forest,    and mountain ranges  are described by fractal geometry.
          Fractals create rendered pictures by seemingly infinite iterations of formulas that contain complex numbers.  Much has been written of these fractal formulas and the men that devised them, symbolized here by the Fractal Library... Sierpinski's Carpet ,    The Julia Set    and  Koch's Snowflake.
          When combining fractal formulas and the force of computer generation, many patterns develop.  Sections of self-similarity, the trademark of a fractal,  are found in  Butterfly Wing, Bottom Fish, Cubes, Dancing Jugs, Green Spiral, Autumn Leaves, Christmas Boot, Red Satin, Fern.
