Channel Title: Julius Horsthuis Channel Description: When I say 'Fractals', please don't think about trippy 80's psychedelic artwork, or 2d mandelbrot zooms that hurt your eyes. Three-dimensional fractal are perfect material for the imagination, as I strive to create alien worlds, other dimensions and special places that stimulate our imagination to the fullest. In many cases, I use music that isn't my own, and for which I don't own the rights, but that is so powerful to me that I want to make the musical dimension visible. <video> [3D FRACTAL trip] Carve Out Your Own Description: A wooden fractal.

And what a decade it has been! First of all, the community response has been overwhelming, warm and extremely encouraging. This has been the primary motivation for me to keep going into the depths in stead of staying at the surface. This meant that four years in I decided to quit my day job at a VFX house and for the last six of those years I’ve had the opportunity to live and breathe fractal art. read the rest on my blog post: https://www.julius-horsthuis.com/blog/2023/12/29/10-fractalicious-years Produced in 4K, HDR and at 60fps music: Immortals by Jean-Michel Jarre ft.

As if we’re attuned to gasping upon the intricacies of mathematics, delightful geometry, algebra of awe. Creating this was a mix of fun and technicality, working with Mandelbulb3D to reveal different layers. Each layer, with its unique color and math-inspired mist, was carefully blended in After Effects. The final rendering undergoes HDR grading, thereby imbuing certain fractal elements with an ethereal luminosity, reminiscent of radiant galaxies. The soundtrack to this visual journey is 'Cloudless Sky' by Mirage of Deep, adding a musical layer to the experience. Algebra of Awe has special significance for me. It's a journey that echoes back to when I first dipped my toes into the mesmerizing world of fractals, almost exactly 10 years ago. Back then, I published my very first fractal short, Geiger’s Nightmare, setting the stage for an exploration that has brought me nothing but joy and happiness. </video> <video> Digital Mosaic VJ pack Description: Digital Mosaic VJ Pack.
