Daniel Brown

Daniel Brown is a designer, artist and programmer. A lot of his work is 3D and based on complicated mathematics.
His most famous and unique works are the 3D plants and flowers that grow digitally. He used real flowers from an exhibition at the D’Arcy Thompson Zoology Museum in Dundee, to reproduce the textures and shapes. The plants are created using complex mathematics so they can construct and ‘grow’ new flowers that are never the same as each other. Much of his work is based on mathematics because he feels it is ‘the language of nature’.
The work he has done that really stood out to me was a job given to him by a Dubaian Hotel. He researched Arabic architecture and its relationship to mathematical geometry. With his 3D software he then created a virtual world, as a conclusion to his research of the mixture of these two concepts. They were printed on postcards and the results were truly amazing and beautiful.
