Dan Lanier's prints are a collection of mathematical Zingers he bumped into while using Gaston Julia's idea for examining nonlinear difference equations. I am intrigued by these mathematical occurrences and enchanted by the process of expressing them artistically. Dan chose to reconnoiter this type of equation because of the beauty of the Mandelbrot, Julia and other graphical sets hanging in the upper story halls of the San Diego State University Math Department in 2007 - 2008.</span><br>

They all include the equations and parameters necessary to recreate them printed in one corner or another. The frames are all made by Dan using a different kind of wood for each one - as part of his quest to learn woodworking at our local CU Woodshop.</span><br>

Self-similarity at different scales, endless refinement of detail and convolution of form, and the interaction of color suggest something real to the eye thought reason denies it. Also, Dan states that "I believe (but cannot prove) that these images are more than computational artifacts and demonstrate that chaos is deterministic (they are graphically the same if using 32 bit floating point numbers as they are when using 64 bit precision). Graphically & philosophically, I hope you find them stimulating."</span><br>
