Ascii Art History

This is a digitally modified photograph I took of the Surfer Monument that stands near Lighthouse Point on West Cliff Drive in Santa Cruz, California. The monument is an 18…
A series of digitally modified photographs of a composition containing moss, air plants, and skulls. I took these photos on my front deck and digitally modified them using the Visionist…
Electric Sheep is a distributed computing project for animating and evolving fractal flames, which are in turn distributed to the networked computers, which display them as a screensaver. It’s crowd sourced evolving art. Below is…
In mathematics, a fractal is a subset of a Euclidean space for which the Hausdorff dimension strictly exceeds the topological dimension. Here however, we attempt to provide a visual introduction to fractals that does not require any mathematics.
Fractals are infinitely self-similar, iterated, and detailed mathematical constructs having fractional dimension, of which many examples have been formulated and studied in great depth. Fractals are not limited to geometric patterns, but can also describe processes in time. Fractal patterns with various degrees of self-similarity have been rendered or studied in images, structures, sounds, and found in nature, technology, art, architecture and law. Fractals are of particular relevance in the field of chaos theory, since the graphs of most chaotic processes are fractals.
The fractals in this gallery were created by Dr. Ronald Joe Record who holds a Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of California. Dr. Record’s research focused on applications of Dynamical Systems Theory, an area of Mathematics popularly known as Chaos Theory.

The photographs in this series were digitally modified in an effort to elicit a psychedelic perspective of natural phenomena or man-made structures. Most were modified using the GNU Image Manipulation Program, the GIMP.

The Buddhabrot is a fractal rendering technique related to the Mandelbrot set. Its name reflects its pareidolic resemblance to classical depictions of Gautama Buddha, seated in a meditation pose with a forehead mark (tikka) and traditional topknot (ushnisha).…
Fractal visually depicting the Lyapunov exponents of an iterated map of the plane. Generated with a fractal software laboratory written by Dr. Ronald Joe Record. I find it interesting that,…
A nice straight forward deep zoom into the Mandelbrot Set with some nice shapes and structures appearing at magnification 1e124. The frames for this video were rendered with Ultra Fractal…

A super cool zoom into a 3D Mandelbrot Set (z^8+c Mandelbulb)
An amazing zoom on the Mandelbox made with Mandelbulb 3D v1.53 and VirtualDub. In mathematics, the mandelbox is a fractal with a boxlike shape found by Tom Lowe in 2010. It is defined in…
