I made this film in 1979-80 to accompany a SIGGRAPH paper on how to synthesize fractal geometry with a computer. It is the world's first fractal movie. It utilizes 8-10 different fractal generating algorithms. I used an antialiased version of this software to create the fractal planet in the Genesis Sequence of Star Trek 2, the Wrath of Khan. These frames were computed on a VAX-11/780 at about 20-40 minutes each.

VIBEKE SORENSEN

Vibeke Sorensen working on 'S'electrons' (1978)
I've already posted videos under the name of Dean Winkler, who often collaborated with Tom DeWitt and Vibeke Sorensen. I just stumbled upon Vibeke Sorensen's website, and discovered more (really cool) videos from them, and way more about Sorensen's work... She also composed some very nice music for the videos. It's worth to give a look at her website for other videos (this one is quite nice Temple), stereoscopic images, and a more detailed bio...
Vibeke Sorensen is an artist working in experimental new media, including computer graphics and animation. From her early work with hybrid video synthesizers in the 1970s, through her long engagement with three-dimensional computer graphics, to her internet based pieces and architectural installations, she has created a series of prints, films, videotapes, and interactive works while also experimenting with and contributing to the development of new systems and methods.

SCOTT BARTLETT - MAKING OFFON
Un document remarquable dans lequel Scott Bartlett partage quelques techniques vidéos, un peu de son processus créatif et plusieurs images psychédéliques. Savoureux mélange de poésie et de technologie. Il est possible de télécharger le film "Offon" dont il est question dans le documentaire sur le blog "The Sound of Eye" qui recèle de trésors du même genre.
