Self Portraits with Mandelbrot Genetics
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper is an artist statement describing a manipulation of the Mandelbrot Set equation as the basis for creating semi-figurative images, using a genetic algorithm. Modernist painting is referenced in terms of the play between representation and abstraction. The Platonic implications of the Mandelbrot Set are considered as a point of departure for manipulation of the complex function.

Reading the first period (1627-1631) self-portraits by Rembrandt based on the concept of Das Ding in Lacan Theory
Rembrandt, in his early self-portraits, clearly forbids the audience from seeing. The distinguishing feature of these works not in the clearly displayed sections, but in the glorious representation of the lost information. In other words, Rembrandt uses visual principles and qualities in order not to represent himself accurately. This prompted the researcher to read psychoanalytically the self...

A stochastic process Y (t) is de ned as self-similar with self-similarity parameter H if for any positive stretching factor c, the distribution of the rescaled and reindexed process c H Y (c t) is equivalent to that of the original process Y (t). This means for any sequence of time points t1; : : : ; tn and any positive constant c, the collections fc H Y (c t1); : : : ; c H Y (ctn)g and fY (t1)...

متن کاملMathematical methods used in monofractal and multifractal analysis for the processing of biological and medical data and images
An object is self-similar if it can be decomposed into smaller copies of itself (the structure of the whole is contained in its parts) (Mandelbrot 1982; Falconer 2003). Not all irregular shapes found in nature are necessarily fractals (Losa 2009). Monofractal objects are mainly characterized by four properties: a) irregularity of the shape; b) self-similarity of the structure; c) non-integer or...
متن کاملAuthentication of Rembrandt's self-portraits through the use of facial aging analysis.
The Dutch painter Rembrandt van Rijn (1606-1669) left behind the largest collection of self-portraits in the history of art. Although about 40 of his oil paintings could be considered "self-portraits," controversy still exists regarding 14 of them. We undertook to determine the identity of the painter or the subject. Our work was based on the generally accepted premise that these portraits repr...
