Abstract Orderism Fractal XIV

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, in both shape and ornamentation, resembles an ancient Greek urn. It was created from the same underlying fractal flame as Abstract Orderism Fractal XIII, but it is comprised of thicker individual "brushstrokes", giving it the appearance of a painted work.

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.
