The Fractal Cow projects the contradictory vision of contemporary architecture that fractal spaces of nature are being replaced by the artificial fractal spaces of our society.

The conditions of our world's interconnected, hyperactive and dense space can be explored as we perceive it, with its inherent fractal dimensions and qualities exceeding the Cartesian concept of space that has dominated architecture and sculpture.

The underlying structure and labyrinthine networks of the city's architecture are artificial representations of the forms of nature and threaten to obliterate natural environments and vegetation at the same time.

Fractal Cow was our entry for the CowParade Budapest 2006, but it didn't get chosen.
