Announcement for exhibition in New Moment gallery - prof. Djordje Kozic Through the centuries, in his own need for cognition, man has been confronting gradually, with new view of nature, and in certain periods of his progress he has been accepting new conceptions - new scientific paradigms. In last decades, fractal geometry and “chaos theory “ development, has made it possible for us to observe reality on completely new way. We are not satisfy any more with classic mathematics, which is based on straight line and shows complete uselessness when we want to |
|
| describe trees, rivers, clouds, lightning.. Now is created new multidiscipline science, which researches complexity in extensive signification. Allied with extraordinary possibilities of computers, it helps us to understand how nature, on amazing way, creates 100 m high tree from such little seed. How one completely tenuous influence, such as spread of butterfly wings, can so much intensify, to completely change weather tomorrow. However, this time we can forget scientific aspects of fractals. Winner of the Nobel prize, Richard Feynman once said: “In carafe of vine is all physics... and molecules, and viscosity, and refraction of light... But we can drink that vine and forget all of it!” Alike, I suggest to forget about all scientific implications of fractal geometry and let us enjoy in visual – beauty and aesthetic of specialy designed fractal objects by Milan Dobrojevic. He shows us how he turned his PC into graphical laboratory, which can experimentize with chaos and produce these magic pictures. It’s hard to believe in fact, that they are based on simple algebraic terms. After all, behind those terms, is hiding one sophisticated knowledge about imaginary and complexity numbers, processes of recursive iterations, but first of all, one strong motivation for experimentation and creation of new art dimensions. |

011Art Fractals - Nikola Kojic If impression lies in the eye of beholder, than this is the place. Not only that complete experience of art hidden on this site, depends solely on you, but it also depends on moment you chose to visit fractals. Sometimes it feels like they are watching you and waiting for you to recognize them. To enjoy utter liberty that fractal-observing provides, you do not have to pay any attention to it’s name, because name itself was chosen in certain moment and it is only a reflection of specific artist’s state of mind, |
| chosen among many others (artistic principle of indefiniteness). Why do I think, excuse me, why I am convinced that fractals you have enjoyed or getting ready to enjoy are art? Certainly it’s not only because I was personally convinced in artist’s great effort and enthusiasm (bordering with fanatism) during creation of this site. We all know talent is necessary but not enough reason for success. Main argument lies in the fact that real art has the power to make you think about it, unlike kitch.It is hard to believe that we are watching mathematics formula or a diagram. I shouldn’t even speak about extraordinary impression, that with a lot of skill and a bit of luck, fractal can show the room you are sitting in. |
