Description I just found out that my Fractal Wasp Troll image was one of the 25 selected for Benoit Mandelbrot Fractal Art Exhibition 2011. www.fractalartcontests.com/201…

He also won fractalforums.com:s annual fractal art contest 2011 for me: www.fractalforums.com/fractalf…

Almost scared myself when he popped out from the DOF in Photoshop... Do not dare to zoom any closer...

As I said before, this is a unrestrained crazy mix of bulbs and boxes but I guess this chaos is needed to create these kind of "real world" organic creatures.

FULL VIEW PLEASE!

One of my pieces for the Exhibition at Värmlands Museum:
EXHIBITION - BEYOND THE INFINITE* 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Exhibition @ Värmlands museum, Sweden.
19th of may - 2nd October 2012
Link to the museum site about the exhibition: http://www.varmlandsmuseum.se/1/1.0.1.0/663/1/
:iconmandelwerk: Johan Andersson aka MANDELWERK & :iconbib993: Jérémie Brunet aka bib993
I am happy to announce my first real life 3D fractal art exhibition.
So all of you who happen to pass the city of Karlstad during this period has the chance to see mine and Jérémie:s works as big prints.
The museum has also arranged with a number of natural fractals, a large Sierpinski pyramid, videos and more.
My works at the exhibition:

Basket of bread  - 81x81 cm

Mathematicians framed by their own formulas - 135 x 108 cm

Quantum mechanic clockwork of the cosmic calendar - 108 x 108 cm

Perfectly framed Lacemaker - 80 x 60 cm

Mollusk of Love - 60 x 80 cm

oh my god, that's terrifying. both the picture and how ridiculously complex it looks to make. consider me awed!

MANDELWERK In reply to TheChainmailChick [2011-01-31 08:37:43 +0000 UTC]

Thank you Allegra!

The complexity is because it is a fractal, it actually has infinite detail...

TheChainmailChick In reply to MANDELWERK [2011-02-01 18:19:20 +0000 UTC]

Oooooh. So if you had a really massive wall sized print of this, you would be able to see even more detail?

MANDELWERK In reply to TheChainmailChick [2011-02-02 08:06:51 +0000 UTC]

Exactly, I have done this: [link]

And even bigger here (not printed though): [link]

Only problem is that the program renders a maximum of 8000 x 8000 pixels (about 1 x 1 meters) , if you want bigger images you have to do a lot of them and stitch them together in photoshop.

TheChainmailChick In reply to MANDELWERK [2011-02-03 08:04:36 +0000 UTC]

Ahhhh! It's even scarier! But very awesome. (great minds, yeah? )

how big are those render files, anyway? o_o

MANDELWERK In reply to TheChainmailChick [2011-02-03 10:04:53 +0000 UTC]

Which render files do you mean, the 3 giga pixel mandelbulb render?
That one is close to one terabyte when layered in Photoshop...

Your style is amazing and so surreal..I love your unique way to pull your viewers in your work...
Your eye for detail is fantastic...You could be a inspiration for all mandelbulbers,unfortunately
you don't share your experience and don't invite people to the places you discover..
I hope some day you open your mind and teach us..
Besides the fact you don't take us on your trips,you are a awesome artist with
a thrilling style
