The Project I have been working on subconsciously for years, which I mentioned in my previous post is now finished.
--- The Hyper Surreal Fractalic Mystical Chess set - My Masterpieces ---
The full set is a play in 7 acts about humanity, the evolution and the quest for knowledge through enlightenment and superfluity until the day when mankind finally became the plague of the planet.
A chess set immensely more surreal than Max Ernsts, Marcel Duchamps and Dalís sets.
Chess was made to be played with pieces of pure fractal mathematics, I now know that!
The King
- Louis XIV as the Gardens of Versailles -
The Queen
- Maria Theresa while wearing The Hall of Mirrors -
The Bishops
- Tycho Brahes Cosmological Cranium -
The Knight
- The Tumorous Horse -
The Rook
- Mysterium Cosmographicum Fractalium - The tower of Kepler -
The Pawn
- The infinitely replicating slugs of ignorance - Pawn of Slugs -
The SET - At home at last...

- THE SET IS NOW COMPLETE -
The board is still under construction...
A big thanks to the beautiful minds, the mathematicians who made up all the 3D fractal formulas I have used for this set. Karl Menger, Bernhard Riemann, (and msltoe), Doug Bristor, Tom Lowe, Daniel White, Paul Nylander …and many many others.
And of course Jesse and Luca G for providing the tools to transform the formulas into real world objects!
