Mandelbloom is an aesthetic piece which explores the relationship between fractals, flowers, and form. The film demonstrates the evolution of the Mandelbrot set as it evolves through its first several iterations. A new type of rendering technique utilizes texture-mapped roses to display the set at fractional iterations in order to reveal the connections between the Mandelbrot and its closely related Julia sets.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
