Diana Ross and Lionel Richie’s Endless Love was at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, and MTV had been on the air for precisely two weeks. This was uninteresting, though, to the crowd pushing into 7th St. Entry, a one-year-old, black-box annex to Sam’s Danceteria (months later to be rechristened First Avenue), a downtown music club in the former Northland-Greyhound bus depot fast becoming one of the Twin Cities’ premier music venues for emerging talent. They were here for punk rock, and for the homecoming of three young musicians from St. Paul: Grant Hart, Bob Mould, and Greg Norton—collectively known as Hüsker Dü—returning to town at the end of a tour they named the “Childrens’ Crusade.” The tour marked Hüsker Dü’s international breakout, as it began in Calgary and Victoria. It then meandered from Seattle to Portland to San Francisco and Sacramento and back to the Midwest through Chicago and Madison. But here at the Entry (as it was called by its regulars), Hüsker Dü was a fixture, having played the venue on at least 50 occasions—sometimes several times in one week—since January 1980. The cramped Entry—capacity 250—had been hewed from the bus depot’s former cloakroom and cafe. In its corner was the low-ceilinged stage, swathed in peeling black paint and scattered with plastic beer cups. It barely accommodated Hart, Mould, Norton, and Hart’s Ludwig drum kit, inherited at age 10 from his older brother, tragically killed by a drunk driver. The crowd in the smoke-filled room was partying, restless, waiting to experience the contagious energy that by now they knew well. Touring had tightened up the material, and new songs had been written on the road, so the band knew it was a moment to capture. Short on funds for a studio album, they had cobbled together $300 to record the show with the intent of releasing it as a live LP. From the moment Hüsker Dü took the stage, the first set was unrelenting. It began with “All Tensed Up” and proceeded to compress 17 songs into less than a half hour, kept on pace by Hart’s ferocious, high-speed drumming: insistent, decisive, with clear purpose. The LP would be called Land Speed Record and was released shortly thereafter with assistance from Mike Watt of the Minutemen and his label New Alliance. The jacket, like those of many hardcore punk and ska records of the time, was requisite black and white, its DIY graphics (designed by Hart via his pseudonymous Fake Name Grafx with Xerox copier and Sharpie marker) advocating the same urgency and immediacy as the music within. While less melodic and textured than Hüsker Dü’s subsequent albums, this one was special in its unruliness: it not only revealed a band on the verge of its collective potential, but also captured the essence of the venue that had been its incubator. For 26 minutes and 35 seconds within its enveloping black walls, 7th St. Entry became a creative tinderbox, encapsulated within Land Speed Record.

    Apophysis Fractal Generator An Introduction Clive Haynes Fractal ‘Flames’ The type of fractals generated are known as ‘Flame Fractals’ and for the curious, I append a note about their structure, gleaned from the internet, at the end of this piece. Please don’t ask me to explain it! Where to download Apophysis: go to https://sourceforge.net/projects/apophysis/ Sorry Mac users but it’s only available for Windows. To see examples of fractal images I’ve generated using Apophysis, I’ve made an Issuu e-book and here’s the URL. https://issuu.com/fotopix/docs/ordering_kaos Getting Started There’s not a defined ‘follow this method workflow’ for generating interesting fractals. It’s really a matter of considerable experimentation and the accumulation of a knowledge-base about general principles: what the numerous presets tend to do and what various options allow. Infinite combinations of variables ensure there’s also a huge serendipity factor. I’ve included a few screen-grabs to help you. The screen-grabs are detailed and you may need to enlarge them for better viewing. Once Apophysis has loaded, it will provide a Random Batch of fractal patterns. Some will be appealing whilst many others will be less favourable. To generate another set, go to File > Random Batch (shortcut Ctrl+B). Screen-grab 1 Choose a fractal pattern from the batch and it will appear in the main window (Screen-grab 1). Depending upon the complexity of the fractal and the processing power of your computer, there will be a ‘wait time’ every time you change a parameter.

  • Apophysis :– an Intermediate User Guide
    Apophysis :– An Intermediate User Guide By Carl Skepper (aka 2B2H) April 2006 Contents Introduction 3 Working with the Editor 4 Using my Metallica script 10 Falling in love with Julia (and Julia ‘n’) 15 Tiling (prepare to be disappointed) 24 Use of blur 31 Adding Colour to your flames 37 Introduction Welcome to my intermediate user guide to using the great freeware application called Apophysis , also affectionately known as ‘Apo’. I first downloaded this software on December 5 th 2005 and I have been hooked on it ever since. The variety of fractals it is able to produce is only limited by your creativity but saying that, your creativity amounts to nothing if you fail to persevere despite the lack of documentation out there. The definitive starter guides are those by Lance and for scripting, by Datagram. Links to both (and much more useful stuff) can be found at The Fractal Farm website : http://www.woosie.net/fracfan/viewtopic.php?t=15 These guides help you with the GUI and offer some basic advice on creating fractals. This guide is different. Together we will create specific flames so you can see how they are done. By doingthis I hope you will gain a better understandiing of Apo and use the knowledge to create your own fractal wonders ☺ It is not intended to teach you the basics of the GUI, those are covered in the docs linked at The Fractal Farm. It will show you a few tricks that you may not be aware of. I do not profess to be any kind of expert with the software.

  • Fractal Art(Ists)
    FRACTAL ART(ISTS) Marco Abate and Beatrice Possidente 1 Introduction “Fractals are everywhere.” This has been a sort of advertising line for fractal geometry (and for mathematics in general) since the Eighties, when Benoît Mandelbrot discovered the set now known as Mandelbrot set, and brought fractals to the general attention (see, e.g., [1, 2] for the story of his discovery, and [3] for an introduction to fractal geometry). As most good advertising lines, though not completely true, it is not too far from the truth. Possibly they are not exactly everywhere, but fractals are frequent enough to guarantee you will meet at least one as soon as you leave your full-of-straight-lines man-made-only office space and take a short walk in a natural environment. When you start thinking about it, this is not surprising. Fractals are easy to generate: it suffices to repeat over and over (infinitely many times in the mathematical world, but in the real world ten times is often close enough to infinity) the same simple process to create a complicated object; and tinkering with just a few parameters allows to obtain an amazingly wide range of different shapes, that can be easily adapted to specific requirements. It is quite an efficient scheme, and nature loves efficiency; complex structures can be created starting just from simple (but nonlinear!) tools. Coastlines and mountain lines; leaves arrangements and lightning; fractures and clouds; all examples of fractally generated shapes. And fractals are beautiful, there is no denying that. Something in their intricate shapes, in their repeating of similar forms at different scales, resonates deeply into our (fractal-shaped) brain, evokes our aesthetic senses, let us admire infinity easing our painfully perceived finiteness.

July 2018 ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! v Abstract ‘Monsters’ and ‘prostheses’ emerge graphically and metaphorically from the margins and gaps in discourse. This is significant, for ancient charts and texts harnessed graphic forms to make meaningful comment on related content. The placement of these borderline figures signaled difference but also, and more profoundly, marked out sites of transformation. Although monstrous and prosthetic figures have touched, intersected, and even become synonymous with one another over the course of history, for the most part they have remained split and embedded within contested disciplines. Nevertheless, the prosthetic trope, like the monstrous metaphor, stands for a problematic hybrid interface that has been heavily exploited within diverse disciplines, often reductively. Still, as with its monstrous counterpart, there remains a sense in which the prosthetic figure is also constitutive. This thesis draws on the ancient figure of the monster and its sensual inscription of the communicative space of architecture in order to re-frame the contemporary figure of the prosthesis. The aim is to open the space of architecture to the possibility of a shared reading that holds relevance for a plural and fragmented world. The process of re-reading and re-framing monsters and prostheses aligns with the way meaning and knowing is enacted by the figures themselves, as they disclose new understanding through shifts in perceptual orientation.

Because they appear similar at all levels of magnification, fractals are often considered to be infi- nitely complex approximate fractals are easily found in nature.
