Jonathan,
We'd love to have you up here. The remodeling job for our main hall is
finally done so we can move forward with an active program and we're
developing our summer schedule.
We're working around two primary event types: Wednesday night blenders
(as in blend presentations and discussions) and Saturday day or
evening special events. If you have an opening in July or August,
we'll put something together. Obviously, we'd be happy to accommodate
your schedule if the Wednesday/Saturday slots don't work. Reply off-
list if you'd like and we'll put something together.

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 ?
