"Abstract Orderism Fractal X" by G. Stolyarov II

Note: Left-click on this image to get a full view of this digital work of fractal art. 

This digital artwork was created by Mr. Stolyarov in Apophysis, a free program that facilitates deliberate manipulation of randomly generated fractals into intelligible shapes.

This fractal is an extension of Mr. Stolyarov's artistic style of Abstract Orderism, whose goal is the creation of abstract objects that are appealing by virtue of their geometric intricacy -- a demonstration of the order that man can both discover in the universe and bring into existence through his own actions and applications of the laws of nature. 

This fractal is based on the juxtaposition of variations on geometric objects, such as spheres, circles, and hyperbolas, that can be described symbolically via equations consisting of squared terms (e.g., x^2 + y^2 = r^2 for a circle,  x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = r^2 for a sphere). Subtle alterations of these objects, however, result in their departure from what one would plot on a set of a coordinate axes. 

Fractal art is based on the idea of the spontaneous order - which is pivotal in economics, culture, and human civilization itself. Now, using computer technology, spontaneous orders can be harnessed in individual art works as well.
