Videos with the art movements :         Optical Art   -   Kinetics    -   Pop Art   -   Collages   -   Fractal Art   -   Swarm Intelligence


Attention!

The videos sometimes contain image sequences with strong contrasts, fast motion sequences and oscillating image elements. In people with increased photosensitivity, gamma waves can be amplified in the visual cortex, which can cause migraines or even epilepsy attacks.


Note

The texts on the following pages are displayed in light letters on a dark background. This method of presentation protects against increasing myopia compared to the usual contrast.

fractal

Videos with fractal Julia sets

Animated representations of variable Julia surfaces (2017)

(incl. a short explanation about the creation of the fractals and the videos)


array

Artistically alienated fractals

Representation of animated Julia sets through figurative elements, shading and transparent surfaces (2017)


fatou

Artistically rendered Fatou and Julia set

Representation of animated Fatou and Julia sets by structured colored areas (2017)

(incl. a description for the delimitation of the calculation of Julia and Fatou sets as well as the calculation of structures within Julia areas).


daphnia

Artistic interpretation of the variant Julia set (z3+c)/z

An artistic and crazy journey through a Juliet universe (2017-2021)

(The page also contains an artistic interpretation of the Julia surface with aspects of astro- and quantum physics as well as philosophical considerations).


swarm

Forms of swarm behavior

Different forms of swarm behavior based on Craig Reynolds' swarm rules with up to 2000 individuals/boids (2019).

(incl. a description of the swarm rules used here).

March 2024 new videos: Neighborhood groups


flash

Flickering Julia in-sets - Flashlight

Animation and representation of the variation of Julia in-sets with the result of flickering surfaces (2019)

(The variation of iteration of structueres inside the Julia set form flashlight effects)


soft

Border zones of Julia and Fatou sets - Flashlight

Artistic animation of the transitions between Julia and Fatou sets (2020)

(Restricted iterations in the calculation of fractals lead to artistic effects in Julia surfaces and Fatou dust).


neuro

Fractals from the point of view of artificial neural networks

Representation of alienation and modification of pixels by neural networks with unpredictable image composition. (2020)

(The use of simple recurrent neural networks with feedback causes an altered artistic representation of fractal images partly in the style of futurism. style of futurism. The page also contains a description of the used networks)
