Fractal Friday

About this event

MAS will partner with the Fractal Foundation (Albuquerque, NM) to present these innovative art-infused science experiences in the planetarium which immerse audiences in flights through fractal animations (or complex, never-ending geometric patterns that repeat at different scales). Each experience is unique and showcases repeating patterns of fractals that have been augmented with dramatic flight movements and dynamic color cycling – plus live presenters offering information about the mathematical formulas that define fractals occurring in nature, from the growth of the tiniest plant up to the shapes of galaxies! The 6 p.m. performance is for family audiences and describe what fractals are and where they can be found. The 7 p.m. showing will be “Fractals Rock,” which is a more experiential production
