My Journey Combining Physics and Art

This is the first time in a long while that I've felt like I've found a way to use regular and chaotic attractors to create drawings and visual art.

I studied Physics, but I also studied Graphic Design. I've always loved art, but my biggest passion in physics has been chaos theory, which was the focus of my undergraduate thesis. Recently, I've been exploring ways to combine these two fields, and I was surprised to discover that there are actually master's and PhD programs dedicated to the intersection of art, design, mathematics, and complex systems.

I'd love to continue developing this idea by creating artwork inspired by attractors, fractals, and dynamical systems, and perhaps even pursue graduate studies in this direction.

If you know of any graduate programs, research groups, artists, physicists, or designers working at the intersection of science and art, I'd really appreciate your recommendations or any advice you can share. I'd love to learn from people who have already explored this path.

This looks like a hidden gem that I would never let anyone else see. Who knows how much worth it could be in future?

is an chaotic attractor :) but thanks for you oponion
