Abstract What role does the confluence of computer science and fractals play in contemporary artistic creation? In this proposal, we intend to reflect on the influence of the development of computer graphics on the understanding and representation of the fractal and how it is used in the current artistic panorama. We will look at the evolution of knowledge of fractals through authors who explain the mathematical aspects, such as Mandelbrot (1982), and the aesthetic aspects, such as van Den Boom and Tejedor (1998), which will give us the keys to understanding the impact that the symbiosis of this geometry and computing has had on culture. Through the work of Julius Horsthuis, Michael Hansmeyer and Iris van Herpen, we will see the connection between the material and the virtual and how imaginaries develop that envisage a future where nature merges with technology and art. Keywords: Fractal Geometry; Computer Graphics; Posthumanism; Nature.
Resumo Que papel desempenha a confluência da computação e dos fractais na criação artística contemporânea? Nesta proposta, pretendemos refletir a influência do desenvolvimento da computação gráfica na compreensão e representação do fractal e como este é utilizado no panorama artístico atual. Observaremos a evolução do conhecimento dos fractais através de autores que explicam os aspectos matemáticos como é caso do Mandelbrot (1982) e estéticos como é caso do van Den Boom e Tejedor (1998), que nos darão as chaves para compreender o impacto que a simbiose desta geometria e da computação provocou na cultura. Através da obra de Julius Horsthuis, Michael Hansmeyer e Iris van Herpen, observaremos a ligação entre o material e o virtual e como se desenvolvem imaginários que perspectivam um futuro onde a natureza se funde com a tecnologia e a arte. Palavras-chave: Geometria Fractal; Computação Gráfica; Pós-Humanismo; Natureza.
