If you’re in Boston and can attend one of the shows - let us know how it was!

We are very pleased to present the exciting “Fractals Rock!” program at the NM Museum of Natural History Planetarium. This show features all zooms with music and is highly engaging and dramatic. Less talk, more Fractals Rock!

There are 3 shows on the THIRD Friday of each month, at 6, 7 and 8 PM.

See the video of “Fractals that Make Us” at TEDxABQ:

Following this very popular presentation at last year’s TEDxABQ event, we’re very excited to have a presence again at the upcoming TEDxABQ event on 9/10/11. We’ll be hosting a table, sharing the mind-expanding beauty of fractals with the conference attendees. Hope to see you there!

Also, please see the video of “Fractals: the Gateway to Transformation” at TEDxBITSGoa in India, on Feb 6, 2011.

This will be a a one day workshop on August 3, from 10AM to 5PM, and it will take place in Jemez Springs at the new Valles Caldera National Trust Education Center.

The workshop is FREE, and is supported by a grant from the McCune Charitable Foundation.

Participants will receive a DVD containing fractal videos, lessons, slides and activities; lunch, and a T-shirt.

The workshop is open to elementary teachers (grades 3-5), as well as middle school and high school teachers. The fractal activities (”Fractivities”) we will be teaching are aligned to the NM Education Standards, and we will customize the fractivities based on the levels of the teachers who participate.

To register, please send an email to “Teachers (at) FractalFoundation.org” letting us know your name, the grade-level(s) and subjects you teach, as well as the school and city you’re in.

Thanks, and we hope to see lots of great teachers there!

Students from Brooklyn New York, in their piece of the Fractal Trianglethon.

Besides New York, we’ve been receiving fractals from all over the country, including California, Delaware, Georgia, Ohio, Minnesota and Ohio. The whole world is participating too! Fractals have been coming in from Canada, England, Australia and India as well.

Students in Goa, India, making fractals for the Trianglethon.

We’re so excited to assemble 6561 individual fractal artworks into a giant one, 192′ wide. Thanks everyone, everywhere, for contributing!

Next year, to break our record and build the next bigger one, we’ll need 3 times as many triangles, or 19683. And we have to find an indoor space big enough to hold a triangle 384′ wide. (Anyone know the owners of the Houston Astrodome?…

This is a giant math project as well as a collaborative art project. The triangles are assembled in self-similar groups of three in the following sequence: 3, 9, 27, 81, 243, 729, 2187, 6561. One of the many math lessons people learn through this project is about exponents, and 6561 is 3 raised to the 8th power (3^8) or 3×3x3×3x3×3x3×3.

The giant triangle of 2010. This one contained 2187 triangles.

Many thanks to all the volunteers, all the children who made triangles, and to the Albuquerque Convention Center for graciously donating the exhibit hall for the Trianglethon!

We are very excited to announce the world premiere of our fulldome feature film “Fractals!” at the FulldomeUK conference on March 13, 2011. The show was very well received in England, and we are grateful for the support of the international audience. However, we are using feedback gained from this premiere to improve the show before releasing it publicly for distribution.

This 25-minute film s based on our award-winning live “First Friday Fractals” show that has sold out for the past 4 years at the NM Museum of Natural History and Science. We are eager to share this exciting, dramatic educational film with audiences around the world.

The show is being produced at 4K resolution, with a 5.1 surround soundtrack with narration in English that can be easily translated to other languages.

When complete, it will be available for licensing through our content distributer, Spitz Inc.

As I continue traveling around the world, I am struck by how everyone, young or old, American, European, Middle Eastern, Australian or Asian… everyone loves fractals!

A warm welcome to our many new Indian fractal fans!
