The Colors of Infinity- Thursday, Feb. 16th 7:30 pm

“The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science.” -Albert Einstein

The Colors of Infinity- a documentary on the beauty of fractals in science and art
Thursday, February 16th 7:30 pm (film approx. 1 hour)
Cost: FREE       Includes popcorn and light refreshments.
Limited seating so please reserve your spot ASAP at mikemalzone@gmail.com

I discovered Fractal art a few years back after seeing this program on PBS and was absolutely floored by the shear beauty of this art form. I believe this may well have a place in the future of fine art since although it is fully designed on the computer, it allows for true artistic and creative expression. This is really entertaining and I highly recommend seeing this. (Did I mention it’s free…and so is the popcorn!)

About fractals
Benoit Mandelbrot discovered what is now called the M-Set in the early seventies and coined the term fractal to describe the geometry behind it. The power and the beauty of fractals were only capable of being seen with the advent of computers, which become psychedelic windows on the infinite when using simple fractal equations. In 1992 Nigel Lesmoir-Gordon made the TV documentary, The Colors of Infinity about the Mandelbrot Set and fractals, which has since been seen right round the world. Sir
Arthur C Clarke presented the film and gives a lucidly simple account of the mathematics of the M-Set. For artists, fractal art offers a new art form that blends both science and art to create some of the most beautiful images imaginable.
