Ed Algra, born in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, 1930, now living near Rotterdam. My education was a technical one, I came by accident to artistry, although I always had much interest in art, photography and music.Â
I’m a retired chemical engineer, worked at a research institute on mechanical properties of plastics and composite materials. I heard of fractals for the first time in the late eighties, and then read the well known books of Prof. Hans Lauwerier and other authors on this subject. At that time I also attended a Fractal symposium at the Technical University Delft, where Benoît Mandelbrot and some other prominent authors revealed the secrets of this new mathematical world. The pictures they showed made an overwhelming impression. Years after that, after my retirement and the connection to the web in 2005, I discovered what had happened in the meantime, the birth of a new kind of art, based on fractal concepts. Then it became a creative hobby for me. Both the mathematical and the artistic side of it have my interest.  Especially Ultra Fractal offers the possibility to write your own fractal math codes, and I love it to do so. I started Renderosity uploading on instigation of Arend Nijdam, aka “Fractelaar†in September 2005.

Je laat hier iets zien, waarvan ik me bijna niet kan voorstellen dat dit gemaakt is in UF 4.. het lijkt of er iets in is geimporteerd ! Ik ben diep onder de indruk, en besef dat ik bij lange na nog niet UF 4 heb doorgrond terwijl ik al met UF 5 bezig ben. Heel knap werk en een en boeiende compositie

Fractal astonomy! Gorgeous work in a whole new field of study, grins! And you don't even need a telescope!

i used to dislike or not care much for fractals----until coming to renderosity excellent
