The branch of mathematics concerned with the study of discrete maps (or functions) is known as dynamical systems. Some maps exhibit the properties of self-similarity and mathematical chaos. Visualizations of the dynamics of these maps generate fractals.
In this series, Mathscaper has expressed the beauty of complex plane dynamics visually through machining in wood and metal, illustrating and mirroring fractals in stunning works using wood, metal, and light. Mathscaper mirrors nature in illustrating mathematically perfect spirals that become infinitely smaller, linking chaos, art, and our understanding of infinity in this symbiotic and graceful exhibit.
A collaboration of three Seattle based artists each with individual and collaborative skills that is Mathscaper!
