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.

Origin of Intelligence

Navigation in Dreamtime
March 31, 2014

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.

Solar Wind

A space vessel is stranded in the outer Oort cloud. No help is coming. The Explorers and Astronomers aboard, suffering from asphyxiation and frostbite are starting to hallucinate. This is their Fractal Hallucination by Julius Horsthuis
 

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.

Dutch

A Fractal Museum tour through Holland's biggest treasures: The polders, the agricultural history, Delftware, but also the capital and the famous Kingsday celebrations.
(all fractal, ofcourse.)
