Title: Purely ornamental Post by: Madman on September 22, 2011, 09:50:54 PM Purely ornamental (http://nocache-nocookies.digitalgott.com/gallery/8/3195_22_09_11_9_50_54.jpeg) http://www.fractalforums.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=8671 Some say that fractals are purely ornamental. In some cases they are right. Some say that art is purely ornamental. In some cases they are right. This creates an interesting array of possible subsets. Is there a subset of ornamental fractals that are art? Is ornamental art an empty subset? And if so, would "Who's afraid of red, yellow and blue" be part of the art subset or the ornamental subset? Are there fractals that are not ornamental? Are there fractals that are art? |
