Like totally four dimensional

For Nomad v3, we are introducing lots of new visualisers…although we are still picking from our faves… one of the strong contenders is a mandlebrot fractal that iterates in time to the music… but then why stop with just two dimensions? There is the infamous 3D mandlebulb which although a little light on the maths still looks BADASS.

Of course, 3D is so 2001, so check out this Nebulabrot in four dimensions : ( warning, strobey & requires an html5 browser

Not seeing the movie? Hmmm, either upgrade to a better browser such as firefox, or look at a flash version here.

And before anybody comments on how that is still 2-dimensional, I suggest you look up Zeno’s paradox and realise the depths of infinity… and beyond!

Still hungry for more? Well if you have a spare evening and a bed in the basement do check out Jock’s incredible fractal animations in Hi-Definition and become @1 with the cosmic universe… suddenly all those posters you had on your wall as a student have come alive! If you are curious about the maths, do check out the forum that brainstormed the mandlebulb, or wig out to the awes0me Arthur C Clarke talking about the mandlebrot set from YouTube :
