Locked

For all of you who have never been this is a truly great show that is
held regularly at the planetarium in Abq http://www.fractalfoundation.org/ 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 ?

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! -Jonathan Wolfe, Ph.D. Executive Director http://www.FractalFoundation.org Next First Friday Fractals show: June 6th. Coming July 4th, "Fractals Rock!" Fractals are SMART: Science, Math & Art!

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. --- Don Begley Managing Director Santa Fe Complex 624 Agua Fria Santa Fe, NM 87501 www.santafecomplex.org 505-216-7562 505.670.9432 (cell) On May 29, 2008, at 2:30 PM, Jonathan Wolfe wrote: > 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.
