3. The Fractal Art
Manifesto
• By Kerry Mitchell
"Fractal Art is a subclass of two-dimensional visual art, and is in many respects similar to
photography—another art form that was greeted by skepticism upon its arrival. Fractal images
typically are manifested as prints, bringing fractal artists into the company of painters,
photographers, and printmakers. Fractals exist natively as electronic images. This is a format that
traditional visual artists are quickly embracing, bringing them into Fractal Art's digital realm.
Generating fractals can be an artistic endeavor, a mathematical pursuit, or just a soothing diversion.
However, Fractal Art is clearly distinguished from other digital activities by what it is, and by what it
is not."
