About the Artist
Chaotic attractors, also referred to as strange attractors, are attractors that emerge from chaotic systems. The resulting sophisticated geometric structures of these attractors often produce interesting fractals which appear to be quite orderly and somewhat organic, even though they mainly consist of patterns and trajectories that demonstrate unpredictable behavior. The images presented at this exhibit are computer generated fractals (Iterated Function Systems: IFS) from scripted code based on non-linear transformations. Multiple instances of self-similarity can be seen in each image, and some specific regions of the original images can be repeatedly magnified to extract many layers of detail that mirror the entire fractal. I am an associate professor of mathematics at the University of the District of Columbia, and have been designing and rendering fractals for over 25 years, both as a hobby and scientific pursuit.
