The Mandelbox, an artistic and geometric journey
Submitted by Torsten Stier on
The Mandelbox is a mathematical object that was first presented by Tom Lowe (aka Tglad) early in 2010. A large part of my artistic work of the past 10 years is based on the Mandelbox and its derivatives. In the following some of my images - among them internationally published classics - for the first time here in print resolution and with parameter files for the software Mandelbulber 2.
Surface Walker
A software to run around on the plane tesselated by the fundamental polygon of the torus or the Klein bottle. This is a alpha-version, feel free to improve it or use parts of the code to build your own!

Dirichlet Diagrams
A simple software to create “weighted Voronoi” or “Dirichlet” diagrams. Simple to use: Click to make a point, click again to start spread of colors, click again to stop spreading. Click on the “All” Button to start or stop all spreadings.

Video-feedback loop! Exploring mirror-symmetric binary complex trees
Submitted by Bernat Espigulé on
Plug a USB webcam, open an app like Photo Booth or Chrome’s Webcam Toy, enable the mirror effect, and then point your webcam to the screen. What do you see? The images get trap in a fractal attractor that you have just created by closing the video-feedback loop! The camera roll angle acts as the argument of the complex number and the distance from the camera to the screen acts as its modulus. Isn’t it wonderful? Have fun exploring this space of fractals that live in the complex plane.

The “ball-sorting machine” is a work-in-progress concept of a purely mechanical machine capable of sorting balls by weight order using a selection of sorting algorithms.
Networks and the world
