Patterns of Visual Math -Secret Inner Life of Mirrored Spheres: Wada Basins

I've not been that interested in the use of fractals in the practice of art. Perhaps I am overly familiar with their limitations from using them in CGI texturing. It seems the patterning you get comes from the math and not from your own imagination. This page, however, is worth checking... more

This is another of the sites which should be seen in their entirety but I felt that I wanted this image here because the being looking out intrigued me a lot... Look into the sphere and say hello!

Reflective spheres.

Perhaps the Best Example of a very rich and interesting natural fractal is the infinite series of inter-reflections when mirrored spheres (such as christmas ornaments) are packed together. It may also illuminate properties of other processes because the fractal is produced by perfect spheres arranged into the most economical packing arrangement used by nature and most waves are actually spherical--

This is one of the coolest fractal sites I've seen, mostly because it involves real objects and real photographs.

Installing is Easy!
