Abstract

Fractal art sits at the intersection of design and mathematical calculation, which makes it completely mind-bending. This type of algorithmic artwork results from fractal objects (never-ending patterns that are eternally complex and appear similar to the whole image) represented as various visual artforms, such as animation and still images. A sort of algorithmic or computer-generated art, fractal art was created in the 1980s. This art style is based on the computations of fractal objects that are rendered as pictures. fractal art is generated with the assistance of computer software; it is not art that is rendered by hand. In certain circumstances, non-fractal pictures are blended into the fractal design to produce a form of hybrid creation. Because they are based on mathematical calculations, fractals are an uncommon art form, but one that has been welcomed under the banner of digital art, and they are not the only occasion where artists have depended on mathematics for aesthetic expression.

Part of the broader genre of new media art, fractal art is a trend that took shape in the mid-1980s. During that time, computer aesthetics also began to develop as an art form, as design became more digitized on the road to the 21st century.
