Mathematical Art

[Selski]

I found this website when I was choosing my avatar.

The art is based on mathematics, and in my opinion, the images are absolutely breathtaking, so I thought I'd share it here.  I haven't a clue about the mathematics side of it (I got a 'U' in Maths at school - for anyone who doesn't know U stands for Unclassified!).  However, I do appreciate art.

If you click on download and go to the bottom of the page, there are over 200 images to peruse at your leisure.  Click on the chequered box and away you go...

Have fun!  I still am!

Thanks for posting!
These images are cool, I've done similiar thinks in the past using math algorithms and computer, but these are extremely complex... I think that function generating such things must be extremely complex, based mainly on trigonometric functions. Creating such pictures probably requires an extreme level of math knownledge...

Thanks for that.  I particularly like Refuge.

There's some gorgeous stuff out there.

Pictures like those can be made with Winamp's AVS (//www.winamp.com), but they're not just pictures. They're video reacting to the sound. They're controlled by math equations you type into winamp. Some pictures taken from the video are equally impressive.

AVS uses algorithms, not equations...

Inspiring stuff     Thanks for posting!

Its a small programming language. It lets you type things that are ALMOST algorithms, but they're not because they cant be called like a function. The "algorithms" dont have parameters or names. I cant define an algorithm called sum(x,y). I have to type one "algorithm" per text box, and it will execute in the order its in the list.

But most wouldnt know what I was talking about. You could type these equations into it...
x = y - getosc(.2, .2, 0);
y = i + i - 1;

So this is how it works....

Are you saying it doesnt work that way?

I've done some impressive stuff with it, like a 3d ball rolling on a 3d polygon (the ground), with a continually changing sky.

It doesnt have built-in support for 3d things.

Hmmmm... I've said that I didn't know that it works this way, most other visualization programs were based on algorithms not equations, so I've assumed that this one works this way too, and I was wrong.

A nice little program is XaoS ( http://xaos.theory.org/ ).
It's a "a fast portable real-time interactive fractal zoomer."...
