Holding a new mirror to nature.
As has been the case with earlier discoveries in geometry, fractals could change the way artists and musicians portray the world. Endlessly interesting and strikingly colorful, fractal images, which are geometric figures in which the same motif is repeated at several different scales, have become a...

Endlessly interesting and strikingly colorful, fractal images, which are geometric figures in which the same motif is repeated at several different scales, have become a ubiquitous part of popular culture. Sculptor Rhonda Roland Shearer says that fractals are a new way of looking at space and form. Several composers are attempting to turn the geometry into music. The x, y, and z coordinates of each point of a fractal in space can be use to define pitch, duration, and volume. Various computer programs have been developed to produce such music. pubtype: Periodical doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
