Bernice Rogowitz and Richard Voss investigated people’s responses to fractal patterns. To do this they quantified the fractal patterns’ visual character using a parameter called the fractal dimension, D. This parameter describes how the patterns occurring at different magnifications combine to build the resulting fractal pattern. As the name fractal dimension suggests, this building process determines the dimension of the fractal pattern. For Euclidean shapes, dimension is a simple concept and is de- Fractals: A Resonance between Art and Nature Fig.

By staring at random patterns, such as those produced by a spilled bottle of ink, a chance arrangement of patterns might trigger the imagination and cause an image to emerge in the artist’s mind. Adopting the Surrealist terminology, the random patterns were said to serve as a springboard for free association. The artist would then draw over the top of this springboard pattern, building a picture based on this initial perceived image. Interestingly, Leonardo da Vinci had already suggested a similar approach back in 1500 in his Treatise On Painting: “… a new inventive kind of looking consists in this, that you look at a wall which is marked with all kinds of stains.
