Panic on Wall Street. A traffic jam at noon. Blizzards in August. Insanity in Washington. Chaos is in order.
Order and chaos are intricately interrelated. The slightest change in an orderly system can produce unanticipated, large-scale effects, like the butterfly effect. Order leading to chaos.
According to Chaos Theory, underlying the apparent randomness of chaotic systems are patterns: repetitions, self-organizations, and fractals — the reproduction of the same pattern at increasingly smaller scales. Order in chaos.
Chaos Theory is a branch of mathematics but has been applied to everything from weather and traffic patterns to economics, physics, biology, and computer science. And art. Abstract art has long been on the cutting edge of exploring the relationship between order and chaos.
