In 2003, the Prix Ars Electronica jury recognised “Gestalt” by Thorsten Fleisch (Computer Animation) with a Honorary Mention.
Four-dimensional quaternions (a special group of fractals) are made visible by projection into three-dimensional space. Instead of modelling objects or scenes stemming from the human imagination with, for instance, the aid of 3-D software, the mathematics behind such software become the principle focus.
