[FRIAM] The Fractal Foundation

[Jonathan Wolfe]

Thanks for the plug, Peter!
I've long wanted to do a show at the Complex, and really it's just a  
question of making the time. I'm eager to connect more with the Santa  
Fe community, and this would be a great way to do that. A few months  
ago I gave an evening "Science Cafe" presentation at the OKeefe Museum  
for the SF Alliance for Science, and it was very well attended and  
received.
	I have a bunch of ideas for things to contribute to the Complex, such  
as interactive fractal exploring computers, immersive video feedback  
machines, etc.  I'd also love to display fractal art made my students  
I've taught, as we have lots of impressive mathematical art, and I'd  
like it to be inspiring more people to use their computers creatively.
	As for timing, This summer, after July 4th, is promising, but somehow  
I'm already - ridiculously - fairly well booked up in Sept, Oct, and  
November. So maybe in July or August we can get some fractals up to  
the SF Complex, and see what we could do about blasting it to wider  
audiences electronically. If one of the logistic functionaries wants  
to talk scheduling, drop me a personal email please.

Thanks!
