-Fractal Rock-
by Pooja Shah and Stijn van der Linden from Fremont, CA

Artist description from iBurn:

For centuries, people have claimed that math is the language of the universe. It has been used to describe phenomena both comprehensible and absolutely unfathomable. Math can also be descriptive of patterns that people find mesmerizing and beautiful.

Fractal Rock is a sculpture built using fractal math. The artist team of Pooja Shah and Stijn van der Linden created the shape using custom software and equations, methods seemingly so rigid, to create its fluid, organic shape. It appears as a twisting ebony helix that looks like it has risen from the earth.

The team is passionate about math, mathy art, and using technology to build complex shapes, among other things.
