Julia's Flowers

Fractal iteration for visitors, sensors, speakers, computer and screens - Glass, aluminum and wood 180 cm × 250 cm × 50 cm

Concept

Sometimes it's the simplest ideas that bear the most beautiful result. At first glance, the ordinary iteration x→x2+c hardly seems interesting. But when you pursue it in terms of complex numbers, you can see a magnificent structure emerge, like a rose sprouting from a humble seed, revealing the secrets of fractal forms and chaotic behavior.

 

 

Julia's Flowers gives visitors the opportunity to experience a whole mathematical world in an interactive and autonomous way, allowing them to manipulate the initial conditions of an iterated equation and displaying the result in real time.
