Audio-Visual Journey
through Fractal Dimensions

About the Exhibition

FRACTAL WORLDS

Journey into the infinite with Fractal Worlds, a new must-see exhibition created in collaboration with award-winning Dutch fractal artist Julius Horsthuis.

Fractals — infinitely complex patterns that repeat at every scale — are all around us. From the branching of trees and lightning bolts to the spiral of galaxies, fractals shape both the natural and human-made world. In Fractal Worlds, these mathematical wonders come alive as vast landscapes, architectural cathedrals, and kaleidoscopic visions that blur the line between the real and the imagined.

Through the creative digital expression of the endless iterations and multiple dimensions of fractals, Fractal Worlds explores fundamental mathematical patterns to stimulate existential self reflection and emphasize the pure wonderment of being. Embark upon a cinematic audio-visual journey where the sheer beauty of mathematics, nature and architecture coincide to inspire introspection and awe.

About the artist

Julius Horsthuis

Julius Horsthuis is a Dutch visual and fractal artist who combines his years of experience with visual effects and passion for computer graphics to create cinematic animations. With a background in film, his passion for fractal art and artificial intelligence allows Horsthuis to be the creator of his own world.

Horsthuis works with the software mandelbulb3d to uncover iterative complex formulas that are generated by the computer to produce the unmeasurable structures that are fractals.

An award winning artist, Horsthuis’ work has been featured in the Academy Award winning “Manchester by the Sea” (Lonergan, 2016) and the most VFX-heavy film in the Netherlands: “Koning van Katoren” (Sombogaart, 2012). His recent work has included collaborations with visual artists Android Jones and musical artists, ODESZA, Meshuggah, Tigran Hamasyan and Birds of Paradise.

Horsthuis considers his art – “a journey of discovery”, as he uncovers to the eye of the viewer the immensely unique fractal reality. Using fractals to create sci-fi type worlds is something of an outlier when it comes to visual art or motion graphics.

The installation features original soundtracks by David Levy and Michael Stearns. Original work from ARTECHOUSE’s creative team with Fractal Lab by Simon Alexander-Adams and Corrugated Origami pieces exploring principles of fractals by Ray Schamp will be on display alongside Julius Horsthuis’s focal piece.

About the artist

Daniel Rozin

Daniel Rozin is an artist, educator and developer, working in the area of interactive digital art. As an interactive artist Rozin creates installations and sculptures that have the unique ability to change and respond to the presence and point of view of the viewer.

Even though computers are often used in Rozin’s work, they are seldom visible.
