For centuries, fractals were considered beyond the boundaries of mathematical understanding. Now, mathematicians have finally begun mapping this uncharted territory. Their remarkable findings are deepening our understanding of nature and stimulating a new wave of scientific, medical and artistic innovation stretching from the ecology of the rainforest to fashion design.
“Hunting the Hidden Dimension” highlights filmmakers, fashion designers, physicians and researchers using fractal geometry to innovate and inspire. Paula Apsell, director of the WGBH Science Unit and NOVA’s senior executive, recognizes the impact fractals can have on our culture. “Fractals are being used in an amazing variety of ways and have the ability to change lives through medical advances, new technologies and artistic achievement.”
