| Contrary to popular opinion art and science do go together. As evidence, examine the following exhibits. And, when you're done, try the science and math Scavenger Hunt at the bottom of this page. |
| Mandelbrot's exploration of fractals coupled with advances in computer graphics is probably the major reason people are finally realising that math can be the source of visual beauty. Fractals are graphs and they are graphic art. |
| ArtByMath Fractal Gallery & CDRom Artshow | A Fractal Gallery. |
| FracTop (Analyze Fractals) V0.2 | Interactive: Analyze the structure of fractals. |
| Fractals Machine | Interactive: Explore fractals online (sometimes cranky). |
| Gumbycat's Second Cyberhome: Making Fractal Art | Cool fractals and suggestions for palettes. |
| Mandelbrot Detail bac11a | Just one very neat Mandelbrot image. |
| Chaos Theory and its flip-side, Complexity Theory, have captured the popular imagination as well, largely because the images created by graphing computer iterations of experiments with Chaos and the related area of simulations (such as cellular automata) are visually fascinating. |
| The Chaos MetaLink | Links to Chaos Theory sites. |
| Complexity On-Line: Interactive Services | You name: it complexity/chaos stuff. |
| Complexity On-Line: Software Repository | Downloadable programs on complexity theory. |
| Conway's Game of Life | John Conway's famous cellular automata program. |
| Welcome to LIFEPAGE | More about the Game of Life. |
| Games that interest John Conway | John Conway's interests are always interesting. |
| Artificial Life Online | Simulate evolution. |
| Exploring the Space of Cellular Automat (interactive) | An interactive Cellular Automata Site. |
| For the two or three centuries before ours, many Western visual artists concentrated on representing the real world as accurately as their dexterity with a brush permitted. Then photography came on the scene and they moved to either abstraction or surrealism, the representation of unreality. The latter is more universally admired. Ray tracing programs are a new way to create very realistic, surreal images. |
| POV-Ray Sample Images | Iinteresting ray-tracing images made with POV-Ray |
| Mikael Kinnunen: Renderer and Writer | A ray-tracing artist. |
| The Ray Tracing Home Page | Good ray-tracing starting point. |
