Zouhair El Helou is an Antidisciplinary Artist researching mathematical abstractions to create a figurative visual impression that simulates the fundamental rules, patterns, structures, processes and principles of the cosmos. His work is derived from a fascination with the beauty of chaos and disorder; while he seeks to reconcile the organic with the geometric. His audiovisual creations incorporate computational algorithms that recognize forms in the visible and invisible universe such as patterns, wavelengths of light/sound and spacetime infrastructures.

New Media Art: Fractal Art, Glitch Art, Interactive Art Installation.

Audiovisual: Cinematography, Video Editing, and Sound Design.

THE IRIDESCENCE PROJECT

This video takes a dive into shapes that emerged from a broken old LCD monitor I had laying around.

The footage was shot on iPhone 6s in February 2017.

Liquid Crystals self-organizing.

Complex, unpredictable fractal shapes emerge as liquid crystals flow out from a main course into several branches.

For the last bit: I removed the display's outer polarizing filter, which makes it seem a blank white screen. Fractal patterns are seen by using polarized eyeglasses to view the display (polarized glass will pass light waves in a certain angle).

Fractal Art

Fractal art is achieved through the mathematical calculations of fractal objects being visually displayed, with the use of self-similar transformations that are generated and manipulated with different assigned geometric properties to produce multiple variations of the shape in continually reducing patterns.
