On the Fractal Behaviour of AA Patterns
Abstract
''AA Patterns'' is a recently discovered kind of algorithmic art in the form of pixel patterns; where each pixel in a 2D bitmap is set or unset according to a simple test applied to its coordinates pair. In spite of their iterationfree algorithm, AA Patterns exhibit signs which suggest some relation to fractals. This paper investigates this relationship, and reveals a new fractal which comes from an iteration-free process.
