Hidden Fractalist Interview - Esherymack by LukasFractalizator, journal
Hidden Fractalist Interview - Esherymack
Hello to everyone reading this journal! Before we move on to the interview itself, some of you may ask yourselves questions such as, ‘What is fractal art?’ or ‘Who are ‘fractalists’?’ Let me provide you with a very brief introduction. According to the Oxford Dictionary, fractal is a curve or geometrical figure in which each part shares the same statistical characteristics as the whole. These structures can be found throughout nature, including in plants, minerals, and even in different states of matter such as gas (smoke), liquid (waves), or solid (snowflakes). In simpler terms, Fractal Art refers to fractals presented as an art form, created using fractal-generating software. Term "Fractalist" consists simply of the two words - fractal, and artist. If you would like to know a little bit more, I recommend these brief, yet informative journals by C-91 and tatasz. Finally, welcome to the latest issue of a project called Hidden Fractalist, led by me, @LukasFractalizator. I initiated

This curated feature is brought to you by @Queen-Kitty. Are you a fan of the cute, wholesome, and romantic visuals commonly seen around Valentine’s Day? Then you’re gonna love the Lovecore aesthetic! As you could guess, this aesthetic is all about love, but it focuses mainly on the more affectionate, sweet, and cutesy aspects of love (particularly crushes) instead of the more seductive or erotic aspects. Fans of the aesthetic have also extended this love to friendships, self-love, and self-care. If you’re familiar with vintage Valentine’s Day cards from the 1950s and 1960s, you may already have an idea of what this aesthetic is about! Lovecore is often inspired by vintage elements like the aforementioned Valentine’s Day cards, but it can also be inspired by things like cottagecore or anime images (such as characters with hearts in their eyes). Popular lovecore colors obviously include red, pink, and white, and common visual themes include lots of hearts, love letters, ribbons
