Far Out: The Most Psychedelic Images in Science | Senses | DISCOVER Magazine
Scientists know you don't need psychedelic drugs to make mind-blowing psychedelic images: Fractals, particle collisions, computer simulations, and sunspots will do the job just fine. Fractals form a major section of psychedelic art, and the king of fractals was Benoit Mandelbrot, who just died in October 2010 . In his famous Mandelbrot set, each small part is the same as the whole, and the image boundary becomes continually more detailed as you zoom in.
Imagine a boulder leaning too far over the cliff’s edge. Seeing that boulder you think it should come crashing down the mountainside. It’s out of balance and you feel the tension of the impending crash. A similar feeling happens in your visitors when the composition of your design is visually out of balance. In a couple of previous posts I talked about visual balance and in each I briefly mentioned the idea of visual weight in order to achieve visual balance.

For most artists the creative impulse remains indefinable and the mental processes by which it becomes a picture mysterious. In the evolution of a painting the whirl of ideas surfacing from an artist's subconscious becomes integrated into an entity ( defined here as a percept, concept, idea or emotion to which the thinker mentally imparts form ) which is almost inexpressible in words, so much so that some artists - Bonnard or Klimt, for example - refused to divulge the inner life which prompted their art. The resulting entities, made visual as pictures, may appear to viewers intriguing, even inspirational, inviting a wish to share the artist's thinking behind his painting. People discuss my art and pretend to understand it , Claude Monet once said, as if it were necessary to understand , when it is simply necessary to love . Stanley too hoped that he might persuade us to love his pictures.
