Alice Kelley's Fractal Designs

Alice Kelley: Seeking The Spiral

'Alice Kelley's fractal designs are astonishing, both emotionally and psychologically, and her yearly calendar has presented the very best of her art. Fractals are those intriguing shapes that are characterized by self-similarity and based on mathematics. These range from flashy to sublime, from energetic bursts to inward-moving mandala-like shapes. Kelley's brilliant talents are brought to life in rich, vibrant colors, unique spiral patterns, and almost psychedelic movements. The designs are also available in greeting cards, and she's just given permission for her calendar to appear in one of the sets of the upcoming Incredible Hulk movie. Kelley's fractals are out of this world.'

I like the "Finding Faces" one in gallery #36.

It reminds me of what I sometimes get when in a deep meditative (drug-free) state: a parade of human faces flashing before me. None familiar, and none extraordinary, just ordinary people appearing and disappearing. They all seemed to be calm and happy.

Sounds like you were floating along the Purgatory trail! HAHA

in the video links above part 5 of 6 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ajdog...eature=related) it shows how Bosley's fractal analyzer
can take a highly pixelated image (one that is distorted because of magnification) and restore that image to it's non-distorted state while retaining the expanded size. additionally further expansion of any part of the fractally treated image is not distorted.
the claim they make is that this process is a prediction from the information contained in the less precise image that is able to yield (through the use of fractals) a more precise image.
