The mathematician Benoît Mandelbrot was the first person to use a computer to visualize the behaviour of a dynamic system. In 1975 he introduced the word fractal (from the Latin fractus, broken) to denote objects with fractional dimension. His scientific research built the foundation of fractal geometry the link between classical mathematics and the chaos of atmospheric turbulence, biological populations and the stock market. Decades before fractals were named several mathematicians had studied them Weierstrass, Koch, Lévy, Cantor, Poincaré and Julia. This film is based on the exhibition “Seduction“ ( ) and it blends computer generated images from the Mandelbrot set with digital photographs from the real life. The song used in the film is “Vitae Amandae“ by Cathleen Trezza from Firewisp Music ( ). The digital photographs are contributed by Annette Olson, Daisuke Tomiyasu,Elfi Berndl,Jon Sullivan, John Fr
