complex its patterns and the high its fractal dimension. Pollock was apparently testing the limits of what the human eye would find aesthetically pleasing. But the studies disagreed on the exact value of that dimension: in one study, subjects preferred a dimension of 1. They then asked fifty subjects to evaluate about forty different patterns each, with each subject having to choose between two patterns at a time. It consisted of a container of paint hanging from a string like a pendulum which can be kicked into motion by electromagnetic coils near the top. The Pollockizer proves that generating fractal drip pattern is much harder than it looks. Two recent studies perceptual psychology had also found that people clearly prefer fractal dimensions similar to those found in nature. The greatest living painter in the United States. 5, regardless of their origin, roughly eighty percent of the time. As the container moves, a nozzle at the bottom flings paint on a piece of paper on the ground beneath it. By tuning the size and frequency of the kick Taylor could make the Pollockizer’s motions chaotic or regular, thereby creating both fractal and nonfactual patterns. But in settings with high fractal dimensions a densely branching rain forest, early humans would have been more vulnerable and thus more uneasy.
