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.

Le Rubik's cube, en pire. Mais magnifiquement réalisé. La traduction en français du titre fait un jeu jeu de mots ;-) Harry Belafonte parle-t-il français ?

I don't know if Harry does speak français. I don't, and that's a very pity. I'm now too old to learn it. Belafonte made that nice song: "There's a hole in my bucket", a very funny one with a loop in it, so there is some link to escape fractals. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yD-ffhvefsw

very caotic, but nice!

Yes, but fractals are an off-spin of the chaos theory! Thanks for your comment.

A LOT of holes! :-D Great frractal. Ik vind dat toch zo'n leuk liedje! :-) Corrie

fantastisch !! en ik moest ook meteen aan die emmer denken ! je gaat goed zeg met MB
VDH
Opnieuw een mooie creatie in je nieuwe stijl!

Exellent werk Ed. deze uitdaging ligt je wel.............

...and when you go inside that hole, you'll see more cubes with holes in them, too, going inside which... There can be no end, which is what makes fractals such fascinating and tantalising things! Great fractal scene with a vague feel of Escher about it. Thumbs up!

Wat bijzonder ziet het eruit! Geweldig!!

Is just beautiful!
