- Abstract
This year's cover artists are members of a team of physicists and psychologists who create human-centered designs based on psychology experiments that investigate the positive impacts of viewing fractal patterns. These positive impacts include reduced physiological stress levels and enhanced cognitive skills. Here, the team explores the concept of "fractal iconography" as an approach to employing computers to generate naturalistic art. Adopting this approach, three forms of fractal patterning ("fractal icons") are combined in a variety of ways to generate the rich complexity of nature's scenery. These composite fractals are remarkably effective at conveying nature's aesthetic power.
