Con delle bizzarre e monumentali fotografie a colori vivaci, immagini e composizioni suggestive, il fotografo Americano Chris Jordan, denunzia gli effetti della società consumistica improntata ad un frenetico "usa-e-getta", come l'uccello morto, in stato di decomposizione e con la pancia piena zeppa di plastica, che l’uccello ha probabilmente mangiato scambiandolo per cibo!

Fu il matematico Benoît Mandelbrot [1924-2010] a creare il nome frattale nel 1975, quando, cercando un nome che potesse descrivere i suoi oggetti, sfogliando il vocabolario di latino del figlio, s'imbatté nell'aggettivo fractus, che, per la sua risonanza con parole come frattura e frazione, sembrò adattissimo allo scopo. Il suo lavoro fu pubblicato nel libro "Les objets fractals, forn, hasard et dimension", 1975 e più compiutamente nel libro "The fractal geometry of nature" in 1982.Il successo fu travolgente. Oggi i frattali irrompono in ogni campo: suscitano l'interesse degli scienziati e la curiosità del grande pubblico, al punto che oggetti frattali si trovano comunemente in vendita.

Eugène Henri Paul Gauguin [1848-1903] was a leading French Post-Impressionist artist. He was an important figure in the Symbolist movement as a painter, sculptor, print-maker, ceramist and writer. His bold experimentation with colouring led directly to the Synthetist style of modern art while his expression of the inherent meaning of the subjects in his paintings, under the influence of the cloisonnist style, paved the way to Primitivism and the return to the pastoral. He was also an influential proponent of wood engraving and woodcuts as art forms.
