Geiger's Nightmare
December 30, 2013


Not modeled or sculpted, a fractal is a mathematical set with self-similar properties. If explored, one can find the most bizarre of shapes and patterns.

Inspired by the work of H.R. Geiger.

the Resolution of the Thirteen Fractal Skulls
January 1, 2014


Fractal shapes and patterns twist and turn to evolve into the Thirteen Skulls. The resolution lies in an entirely different fractal dimension.

Embryonic Development
January 29, 2014


The third of a Fractal Symphonic Trilogy.
I've tried to make an aesthetically appealing animation using fractal software, so to give an organic and familiar experience to the otherworldly beauty of fractals.

Navigation in Dreamtime

1596 AD.
A ship is frozen in the deep arctic. No help is coming. The Navigators and Cartographers aboard, suffering from hypothermia and frostbite are starting to hallucinate.
This is their Fractal Hallucination.

Illusions

Published on Apr 20, 2014


A series of portraits of Fractal shapes.
These shapes are emergent from relatively simple mathematics, not unlike a simple molecular structure can create an infinite amount of differently shaped crystals. They look designed, but this is just an Illusion.

Hard problem of Consciousness

Published on Oct 24, 2014


Consciousness is still a very difficult thing to understand, but we know it has something to do with the trillions of connections in our brains. Our Fractal brains. Because the grey matter has developed in a similar way as these visuals: very simple beginnings bring forth infinite complexity.

Convergent Evolution
November 8, 2014


Due to the phenomenon of Convergent Evolution, we can expect to see familiar shapes on planets in distant solar systems. Like on this one, where everything is connected.

Fractal animation has not much in common with traditional animation. The fractal animator uses sliders controlling various formulas, that control how the shapes manifest on a global scale (If you tweak anything in a formula, everything changes) Then there are more traditional methods such as camera work and lighting to put these newly discovered shapes up for display.

Fractal fly-throughs can be boring – so I made this one extra-long to make sure you would get super bored. That is unless you start to forget the world around you and let your imagination fill in the fractal void. Every nook and cranny will start to come alive – have a purpose. The deeper you go, the more intense this place will feel. You’ll be so immersed you won’t comprehend that all it takes to create this world is the code written on the side of the frame.

Poetic Fractals. I use fractals for developing skills – they are exercises in framing, composition, typography, color and style.

The undoing of the machine world

Published on May 13, 2016


what is the fractal?
Contrary to popular belief, fractals aren't only for psychedelic entertainment, but can be used to build future machines as well. Fast forward 200 years into the future and witness how the fractal machine world undoes itself.
