The bioforms are generated through the iteration of mathematical transformations. The term "biomorph" encompasses organismic morphologies created by small changes to traditional Julia set calculations. In many of these creations, the mathematics has given rise to structures on the screen which resemble cilia and various appendages. 2, record 1, English, - biomorph

Après les biomorphes de B. Mandelbrot (1982), de telles formes furent créées en 1988 indépendamment et presque simultanément par le biologiste R. Dawkins (Oxford) et le fractaliste C. Pickover (IBM). Les biomorphes de Dawkins ressemblent à des êtres organisés, ceux de Pickover, à des microbes. 1, record 1, French, - biomorphe
