Jaqaur – Looking Outwards 03

I think Incendia is really interesting, because rather than being an individual art project, it’s a software that allows users to make designs with fractals. The examples on their website vary wildly, from traditional swirls to pictures made up of stone columns and suns (show below) or hot air balloons. In this project, the computers seem to have little autonomy, because users get to control most of the factors like color, type of fractal, and anything that would really affect the image. Still, there is a high amount of complexity that just comes with all fractals–they continue infinitely (in theory), so there are a lot of intricate details. Even though everything is extremely orderly, the pictures created by Incendia appear very complex to viewers, and sometimes very beautiful.
