Jason Padgett has Acquired Savant Syndrome. When he began making fractal art, he had no traditional math training, and has only since become a student in order to better describe the geometry and numbers that he inherently sees in the world.
His pieces are reminiscent of sketches by early pioneers such as Da Vinci – you can almost feel the thought and concentration reaching outwards. If there were such thing as blueprints for life, this would be them; postmodern entanglements representing the particle world. But they also embody sentimentality – one can’t help but be reminded of playing with Spirograph tools as a kid, and wondering why they ever went out of fashion.
Jason Padgett’s fractal drawings are incredible and inspiring for many reasons. At first, I thought the most incredible reason was the story behind the acquisition of his gift: walking home one night he was maliciously attacked, causing some long-term repercussions to his brain. Scans revealed that Padgett’s brain changed itself to compensate for the damage received, and shortly after, he began to see the world in a different way.
But then I thought the most incredible thing about these drawings was the math behind them; the understanding that fractals arise from limitations, and their relation to E=MC^2. His drawing of E=MC^2 shows that the structure of space-time at the quantum level could be fractal in design.
But now I think I have finally settled on the utmost incredible part….
…They’re all drawn by hand, with just a pencil, a ruler, and a compass.

I’m working on a tshirt-design for Warp Records
For that I was browsing my old MR images (I’ve already made an animated version earlier). I thought if I would place the slices (frames) as a sequence in space it would give a semi-3d object. And it works!
Shattered Reflections
Using mirrors and glass in her sculptures, Japanese artist Tomoko Konoike plays with optics and light reflection to turn what would be a free standing art piece, into an installation, Earthshine (2013) that takes over the space in which it’s in. The whole room becomes the art, as the viewer becomes engulfed in this new world the artist has created; a result of the geometric light patterns bouncing off the walls.
Whether figurative or abstract, the artist’s work explores how natural forces collide and find peace with one’s consciousness, combining geometric shapes and optical light illusions to create out-of-this world spaces, playing with our perceptions of space. Tomoko Konoike manages to use the precise shapes and positioning of the glass to manipulate not just the shape of the piece, but the space as well, playing with the viewer’s imagination. Is the room a cave, forest or cosmos? In the end, it is the viewer’s imagination, which decides where they are transported to.
