摘要: Fractals have experienced considerable success in quantifying the complex structure exhibited by many natural patterns and captured imagination of scientists artists alike. With ever widening appeal, they been referred to both as "fingerprints nature" "the new aesthetics." Our research has shown that drip American abstract painter Jackson Pollock are fractal. In this paper, we consider implications discovery. We first present an overview our from past five years establish a context for current investigations human response fractals. discuss results showing fractal images generated mathematical, processes possess shared aesthetic quality based on visual complexity. particular, participants perception tests display preference fractals with mid-range dimensions. also recent preliminary work skin conductance measurements indicate these affect observer's physiological condition future directions results.
