FRACTAL GEOMETRY  &  TRICKS OF THE LIGHT


Welcome to my new web page!

My oeuvre encompasses novel visualizations of 2D escape time fractals designed to cleanse your occipital cortex via high-resolution images, animated videos, and prints which animate under RGB illumination and pop under UV light.
Kindly direct inquiries to me via e-mail at lsd@acm.org.

Cards

Each of this series of 625 cards is a different nearly-rectangular quadrilateral, signed and stamped, with a unique fractal on both sides, revealing hidden details and messages when illuminated by 365nm ultraviolet photons.

If you collect enough cards and sort them correctly, there is a flipbook fractal animation on both sides of the cards. On the back there are 25 sections of distinct 25 frame animations. Here are 5 of the 625 frames of the front animation, as printed in invisible ink:

Inkjet prints

Each of this series of over 100 prints at 720 or 1440 PPI on A3+ paper and canvas use up to 11 colours of ink:

The prints pop when illuminated by 365nm ultraviolet photons. My Multispectral Fractal Frames animate the standard inks and pop only the invisible yellow ink with 395nm light.
