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!

Want to see kids of all ages give a STANDING ovation to MATH !!!!
Go see you will have fun but get there early as the shows are always
sold out
Jonathan Wolfe who runs this is a deep brain type immersed in
cognitive and complexity theory
Friam should have one of his shows at the complex for W21 and First
mile think how this could be blasted to schools everywhere
Owen also mentioned yesterday at the ad hoc friam that he is trying
to get the Institute to give a similar summer show at the Complex
----- GREAT Idea how do we make it happen ?
