An Artistic Approach to Julia Sets Through Computer Programming
(Mathematics Department, University of El Salvador, El Salvador, Central America)
Abstract: This article mentions how the resurgence of the study of Julia Sets was given thanks to the diffusion of personal computers and then proposes the artistic pathway is proposed to increase and enrich the mental image on Julia Sets. This pathway includes the mathematical, the playful, the artistic and the computational approach; and it is argued that they are not disjointed or dissociated despite general rejection by traditional academic communities and art critics communities. Some significant collections of Computational Art or Computer-Generated Mathematical Art are mentioned, and finally four artistic creations based on Julia Sets are presented as an example using the CFDG language.
Key words: computer graphics, fractals, Julia Sets, CFDG, computer generated mathematical art
