Miguel Chevalier

French artist, Miguel Chevalier is known internationally as one of the pioneers of virtual and digital art. Currently, he has an interesting fractal installation which can be experienced at Wood Street Galleries in Pittsburgh, PA. Motion detectors allow the viewer to interact with the growth of the fractal “plants” which simulate nature. There are 8 varieties, ranging from flowering vegetation to cacti. Some say it's like walking through a living jungle because each plant seems to have a life of it's own.

I sure wish I could go see it but it ends December 31st and my schedule/pocketbook will not make allowances for traveling.

Also check out his monumental sculpture, Fractal Cloud that serves as an astronomical clock at night. This guy is sheer genius.
