Fractal images: from the math of color and forms to deconstruction

When the first time I have deconstructed a fractal image, it's not been a good experiment, but all experimental artist know that the wrong attempt sometimes open new ways on different horizon.

The image is still in the web and sometimes come out from the memories of google search...

Sometimes maybe we are very conscious where we want to go but it's not always the initial path the right way to began because it's uneven, above all "the technique needs time to be refined and the theory needs time to be developed". 

The first images used were bidimensional and today I yet continue to work on that technique to deconstruct the fractal images inspite there are 3D software for fractal art and I often work with generative art where I use algorithm in movement rather then static images.

The choise to deconstruct a fractal image it's not a chance; the fractal images are interesting but I wanted something different; I wanted my fractal images will be recognizable for external characteristic on fractal algorithm and so I developed my personal technique to deconstruct images using the knowledge of graphic information and the softwares I had to disposition in that moment.

The fractal images are special, they derives from geometric function with the caracteristic of autosimilarity, for this motivation when we explore a fractal in software we can see in a highlight a similarity to initial function. 

My main interest in the fractal software are the internal color function, an usefull instrument to learn the color management, to armonize and to compose the colors in complex images.

The color is a main appereance in the fractals but the color function are an important aspect in the variation of the forms in the fractal algorithm.

 Exactly the color is a fundamental aspect in these software and it has the maior impact in the others sectors such as design, architecture and generative art.

The color is an important appereance in many sector from industrial design, to fashion design, to architecture; also when it seems not important it is implied in design process.

Since I create my first fractal images for “Benoit Mandelbrot fractal art contest" I have always search in the fractal explorer images represent my cultural backgroud not only for the forms but expecially for the colors, also the software is old software of 10 years ago.   

To distinguish oneself it's not a negative thing and I retain that it's a necessary point of view to not conform to an artistic current.    

To deconstruct is a complex process and it supposes analysis and synthesis.

Beginning from a simple form as a sphere, proceeding to breakdown and recomposition stages we can reach a maior degree of complexity and plasticity but for fractal images the deconstruction is a complex process because the fractals are already complex forms. 

The theory of fractal is also the theory of chaos, just for this motivation applying the deconstruction we can obtain an image that is not aestetically interesting so only some image are suitable for the deconstruction. 

I can speach deeply about deconstruction in a next post...

Urban landscapes between staticism and dynamism

At present in architecture in Italy it’s necessary decision making that in the existing istitutions and clients quite missing.   In the new area of expansion of our cities in the twentieth century to resolve the crisis of accomodations post war and post worker emigration it’s arrived yet another quantity of low quality architectures leaving the usual unsolved puzzle of expansions.   In the current suburbs it’s evident the problem of urban renewal together the creation of service for citizen not still available.     The designers often prefer get caged in overcome discussions rather than deal with problems of real requests of society or prefer don’t decide on development path deal for major questions rather than delude the ranks of supporters accumulated in the time. In our society with age-old story, designers prefer to talk about troublesome accademic discussion as the identity of italian architecture rather than modern style. This isn’t identity but staticism whether these discussion

Fractal patterns and singularity: unicum and continuum, iteration and interaction.

When I met fractals and fractal art, what aroused my interest were fractal patterns with their forms and geometric structure. These graphic elements are suitable for studies on pattern in architecture and in industrial design and they have the feature of being creative pattern very artistic and useful for digital art and drawing fabric in the fashion design. Their compositional relations, the way the form is repeated, and specially that patterns in which there are singolarity have been the object of my studies for many years before arriving at deconstructivism on digital images and in generative art. The most interesting aspect of the fractal patterns are the variation of structure for the overlap of different structures, the iteration and interaction of the structures between them, or the optical effect of light and colors on the structures.  Among all fractal patterns my interests are focused on patterns have deformation points and show a graphic singularity or discontinuity in the s

Fractal art and generative art: caos and order between forms and colors

When we speak about art, all of you consider classical sectors as painting, sculpture, photography and cinema without thinking that also in the programming and in the math there is the development of new artistic paths in line with the graphics and the digital art. They suppose a background of knowledge more extensive lied to mathematical algorithms and complex computer programming. If the experience in the fractal art allowed me to extend the artistic and mathematical competences, the generative art allowed me to put in practice this competences from the point of view of programming in a different way and in relation with digital graphics.   The common vision of both arts is in the fractal formulas on which is based the study of dinamic systems, in both cases we find the caos in the algorithms and only the designer decides how sets order. The fractals are geometric object with the character of auto-similarity as defined from the chaos theory and are described as recursive algorithms w
