Todd Siler

www.feldmangallery.com Todd Siler, trained in both science and the visual arts, will exhibit models and drawings derived from his studies and speculations on nuclear fusion reactor design. Delving into an area that science and technology so far have been unable to fully solve, Siler, in his new body of work, responds to one of the most monumental scientific challenges ofContinue readingTodd Siler

This is NOT a Fractal

It's called Camera Toss, and the object is to toss your (inexpensive) camera while it's set on the slowest shutter speed to capture unique patterns that occur with light during the revolutions. Though they are not fractal images, they tend to look a lot like Apophysis fractal designs because the same basic principles are applied: A structure of light existsContinue readingThis is NOT a Fractal

Analogia

Inspired by fractals, moire patterns, ad Islamic art, artist Andres Amador creates beautiful patterns of light in 3D sculpture that just blow me away. Among the vivid images of intricate sand cirlces and light patterns are videos of his artwork in motion. The site is more than visual eye candy; he often offers thought provoking insights and theories when heContinue readingAnalogia

First Synthetic Nanoscale Fractal Molecule

Scientists from the University of Akron, Ohio University and Clemson University have created and captured an image of the largest man-made fractal molecule at the nanoscale, a development which could eventually lead to the production of new types of photoelectric cells, molecular batteries and energy storage.

Fractal Quilts

My mother is an avid quilter. She told me about a woman who makes quilts out of fractal patterns. I did a search online and found a couple websites of particular interest. First, take a look at this breathtaking gallery of colorful mathematical quits created by the talented Rose Rushbrooke. When you're done ooo-ing and ahhhh-ing over those, check outContinue readingFractal Quilts

Mandelbrot Takes on New Challenges

At the age of 81, Benoit Mandelbrot, recognized for originating the field of fractal geometry and applying it in mathematics, science and engineering, has joined the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. Pacific Northwest National Laboratory is a DOE Office of Science laboratory that solves complex problems in energy, national security, the environment and life sciences by advancing theContinue readingMandelbrot Takes on New Challenges

Fractal Camo Tested on Aircraft

HyperStealth Biotechnology Corp. has been working with 3M's vehicle wrap technology and Scotchprint® and ScotchCal® window coatings to create better military camouflage designs using fractal patterns that can be applied to weapons, vehicles, helicopters, and even jet aircraft. They claim that these patterns can be applied with little specialized training. Defense Industry Daily reports that at present, up to 10Continue readingFractal Camo Tested on Aircraft
