Historical context & research account
Mandelbrot's fractal research is not AI, but has substantial relevance to generative art: simple rules can produce complex, self-similar visual worlds. The spread of fractal imagery during the 1980s and 1990s also helps connect mathematical computation and visual invention in public culture.
