Dog Dream

Dog Dream

In this artwork created by Kaz Maslanka we can see artistic representation of fractal like Koch snowflake.

The inscription at the top is in Korean:

Dog Dream = Irrationality / Importance

Jenn 3D

Images above and on the right were created using computer program Jenn 3D which can draw graphs of finite Coxeter groups on four generators. Jenn builds the graphs using the Todd-Coxeter algorithm, embeds them into the 3-sphere, and stereographically projects them onto euclidean 3-space. The models really live in the hypersphere so they looked curved in our flat space.

Jenn 3D is licenced under version 2 of GNU public license. You can download executable file from developer's site. Unfortunately, developer does not provide executable for Windows platform at present, but he says you can download the source and compile it yourself.

Cubic houses in Rotterdam

A set of innovating houses was built in 1984 on Overblaak Street in Rotterdam in The Netherlands. These houses have shape of cube which were tilted to 45 degrees. The composition consists of 32 cubes, all attached to each other. The houses contain three floors.

This set of buildings was designed by architect Piet Blom. He is best known for his 'Kubuswonigen' buildings built in Helmond and Rotterdam.

Cube houses have interecting feature. They looks like impossible figure from bird's-eye view as it seen in Google Maps. Special covered roofs of cubes looks like snow-covered mountain peaks.

Fractals by Jock Cooper

A very impressive collection of fractals with more than one thousand image was created by Jock Cooper. Very bright and colourful images of Julia sets are represented in the main gallery. Besides traditional types of fractals, you can find three-dimensional mechanistic fractals in special section.

Fractal art by Keith Mackay

Many knows about simple IFS fractal that depicts fern leaf. It shows the complexity of simple forms. The large fern consists of a number of similar ferns smaller size and so on.

Maybe, this simple image of fern shows us secrets of nature. Trees, leafs, corals and other objects can be depicted using IFS fractals. So we can create our own world where all things will be fractals of various forms.

Some artists creates realistic images using fractals. One of them is Keith Mackay. He creates landscapes, underwater spaces and creatures. It's incredible that some images looks amazingly realistic. His birds and fishes looks artificially from near only where solid image brakes apart into separate fractals.
