Description
African Fractals: Modern Computing and Indigenous Design by Ron Eglash explores the fascinating connection between fractal geometry and African culture. Fractal patterns, characterized by repeating designs at smaller scales, are found in various aspects of traditional African design, from architecture to art. These indigenous fractals reflect a unique approach to problem-solving and knowledge-sharing among African communities. Drawing on interviews with designers, artists, and scientists, Eglash delves into the world of African fractal geometry, examining its applications in fields such as textiles, sculpture, and religion. By uncovering the intricate relationships between mathematics, culture, and technology, this book offers a fresh perspective on the intersection of modern computing and indigenous design.
