| What
seems so plain to fractal enthusiasts—that fractals
are a form of art—doesn't appear to be quite so obvious
to other people. The assumption seems to be that since fractals
can't really be produced without software, which does all
the calculations, that the "artist" must just be
punching in some random numbers and seeing what results. This
couldn't possibly be art. Well, it just doesn't work like
that. It really isn't that simple. Yes, anybody can download
some fractal software, play with it for a few minutes, and
produce a picture or two. But then, anyone can buy Photoshop,
play with it for a few minutes, and produce a picture, too;
is that art? What about if someone buys a canvas, some paints
and brushes, and whips out some simple painting? Is that art?
Does it matter what tools are used?....More |
'cuz the dead
ones don't need money!
Why purchase my art as opposed to a reproduction
of masters like Monet or Vincent VanGogh? Because these artists
are not living and the money you spend on reproductions of
their art are not going to the artist or their family, it
is going to someone who is not an artist at all, just a merchant.
Buying from a living artist is helping that artist to continue
their career as an artist. Support your favorite living artist
today so they can keep creating art for your enjoyment and
make a living for themselves. |
