What is fractal art?
Fractal art is a digital art medium with a very rich creative space, based on geometry and recursion.Chaotica's user interface abstracts much of the maths away to provide a fluid artistic process.
Since its invention in 1981, IFS fractals have been popularised by Flam3 and Apophysis. Chaotica extends the creative possibilities of these programs in a powerful, production-oriented environment.
