Fractal Art

Fractal Art is a specialized form of Digital Art and has been around for approximately 15 years. It is a genre concerned with fractals-shapes or sets characterized by self similarity (small portions of the image resemble the overall shape) and an infinite amount of detail. Fractals are created on a computer, using an iterative ( repetitive algorithm) numerical process. The word 'fractal' was coined by Benoit B. Mandelbrot. Generating fractals can be an artistic endeavor, a mathematical pursuit, or just a soothing diversion. Today there are many pieces of software that can produce astonishing Fractal Art. Knowledge of Mathematics is not essential to use these programs.
I have used several Fractal generating software- namely Fractint, FracXtreme, Grafvision, TieraZon and UltraFractals to produce Fractal Art. The one above depicting GANESHA is done by me using UltraFractal program.
The main point of any discussion is “Is Fractal Art really ART?”. My answer is “YES. Most definitely yes. “. To know more about this subject I strongly suggest you go to http://www.fractalus.com/fractal-art-faq/
