Re: Is fractal art part of the science of fractals?

For instance: fractals science is used in the understanding of:
1) economic science ( Mandelbrot's cartons and the stock market)
2) earthquakes ( geology; Per Bak's sand piles)
3) population dynamics ( logistic bifurcations; competition between species)
4) cosmology ( Mandelbrot removed the largest Levy scales and produced
a distribution much like that of the observed galaxies).
5)  Music (the concept that the information content was of fractal
dimension led to a new technology in composition )
6) language theory ( Zipf's law, Information  theory, etc.)

Name one of these cases in which visual "art" was involved that had elements of beauty.
In most of these cases the graphs and charts involved enter into the classification of ugly( as I've been continually told by my relatives,ha, ha...).

Hi Roger,

I hope you didn't think I was being rude in any way ?

As to Fractal Art being part of the Science of Fractals,
I personally consider the two as one - they compliment
each other and in any case I was taking Fractal Art as
including the use of fractals in computer simulations as
well as just creating pretty pictures, in any case good
computer simulations are just moving pretty pictures
anyway aren't they ?

As a straight answer to your question I would say that
Fract Art is a part of Fractal Science and Fractal Science
is a part of Fractal Art :-)

bye
Dave
