It was really great, attendance around 200 or a little more. I tried to make the opening funny by showing an actual MRI of my brain that in parts, had both 2 dimensional and then 3 dimensional fractals growing in it, which I thought was hilarious, but was met by straight if not shocked faces and not a single laugh. The custom made faux mink coat was a necessary accessory after I found out the school had a secret society named the “Mongolian Minks” In the photo I am explaining the fractal nature of the Lorenz Attractor and how it was utilized in the perspective of the famous Velazquez painting “Las Meninias” Title: Re: Fractal Art talk at Washington & Lee University, Lexington, VA Post by: cKleinhuis on March 12, 2015, 06:33:43 PM no video ? :(

Nice to hear your report, and interesting about the perspective (or movement?) and the Lorenz attractor!
