Fractal Art and Trance Dance
With my Fractal Art work I hope to explore the elements that
the Trance Dance
Movement seeks to promote. All the elemental energies of the universe can be
represented through this young art form.
What is Fractal Art?
http://fractalartgallery.com/what_is_fractal_art.htm
From Chaos comes Order. Fractals are the forces of Chaos
meeting the forces of
Order. Fractals are a visual dance that surrounds us. From the branching of
trees to the branching of our lungs; from the voids between the galaxies to the
neural patterns in our brains: these are all fractal forms.
Many realms of modern life are finding inspiration in fractal
images and fractal
geometry. Medicine uses it to predict irregular heartbeat; cell phones use
fractal forms in their antennas. The new applications of this geometry is
growing every day.
A common experience while viewing fractal imagery is one of
contemplation.
Almost everyone who has been captured for a moment by a fractal art image is
instantly transported to a contemplative state. A glaze comes over their eyes,
as if they are contemplating cloud patterns. Fractal Mandalas of incredible
complexity grab the eye and pull the mind to realms never imagined. By using
these
effects of fractal images I hope to enhance the trance dance experience.
Artist Bio & Quote-
Ken Keller began his Fractal Art work in 1994. This new art
genre seemed to be
custom-made for Ken's eclectic eye and scientific curiosity. Formerly a
commercial photographer and graphic artist Ken turned his innate sense of
element placement and compositional integrity to explore this new realm of
reality.
"At exhibits of my images the most common experience
among the audience is one
of recognition. Subconsciously everyone can relate to the general effects found
in fractal imagery, even though this specific type of image has never appeared
before in all of art history. It is a more visceral experience than the
psychedelic
era poster art. Somehow the fractal image has a validity in human
consciousness that seems to be innate."
