MYCELIUM

The Vault has opened and from within comes the Seed of Potential. It lives within us all and can be accessed, if only we can figure out how to open our own personal vaults.

My own Seed of Potential is represented here as the Mandelbulb, the first 3-dimensional fractal firstconstructed by Daniel White and Paul Nylander using spherical coordinates in 2009. 2D fractals had fascinated me from a young age, and when I discovered that 3D fractals existed, I suddenly knew that I had finally found the means to express my inner world.

I wanted to capture the feeling of wonder and also the awkward exploration I did as a young fractalnaut, by keeping the Mandelbulb as is, without manipulating it with other formulae, and by moving the camera around to follow the sphere in jerky, amateur movements.

What form did/will your own Seed take?
