Artforms of Nature

Published on 18 July 2009

The nineteen century German biologist Ernst Haeckel is famous for his fantastically illustrated book Artforms of Nature. The copyright for this book from 1904 has now expired and thanks to Wikimedia Commons it is available for everyone to appreciate.

Haekel's artistic interpretation of the biological forms he studied have a clarity of symmetry and detail that has been a source of inspiration for many artists and engineers over the years. They provide the perfect subject matter for the Fractal Explorer plugin.

Fractale ! Je viens d'apprendre l'existence de ce terme et de ce qu'il signifie.

Oui, c'est vraiment magique !

Ce qui est surprenant, c'est que les domaines d'application des fractales sont multiples, entre autres : la géologie, la médecine, la morphologie, l'économie, les sciences humaines...

Merci pour le partage, Youness.
