My fractal animations are ideal for parties, art shows, performances, theaters, or other social functions where an eye catching display is desired. Please contact me to schedule a Fractal Light Show. Other uses for my fractal explorations may include: Aircraft Entertainment, Airports, Art Galleries, Bars, Book Stores, Clubs, Concerts, Conventions, Dances, Day Cares, Fund Raisers, Gifts, Gyms, Hotels, Indoor & Outdoor Projections, Libraries, Offices, Parties, Pre-School, Physical Therapy, Raves, Relaxation, Salons, Schools, Spas, Theaters, Trade Shows, Visual / Sensory Stimulation for Developmentally Disabled Persons, Waiting Rooms, etc.
Fractals can be soothing, inspiring, lively. How they are perceived is largely dependent on the person looking at them, the environment where the fractal is viewed, and the music (if any) that is being played. Each person may have an experience that differs from someone who is sitting inches away. Truly these are like clouds. A unique experience awaits to be discovered. They are ideal for "ice breakers". Shy people who want to be part of a conversation often have difficulty getting started. When you are among a group who are possibly seeing my fractals for the first time it is easier to be part of a conversation that discusses them. Spas and salons can use them to lighten the moods of their clients. Daycares and schools could use them to turn young minds onto the awesome beauty of math. Too often young people do not think math and science has any relation to their personal life. Fractals have terrific potency for persons seeking to widen their perspective by actually working with the math that produces these beautiful images. Students can also learn to create their own fractals, possibly leading to Fractal Clubs. Students may have already seen programming on PBS about fractal art. Public Broadcasting Systems could show new fractals with a greater variety of shapes.
(Deep Zooming HD Animations):
Each animated segment is self-contained. Some segments start and end on a common color (black, white, yellow, blue, etc), while others have striking differences for their start and end colors. I can re-arrange the animated segments in any order desired. They can be played as individual animations (once or continuously looped), run back-to-back, played in reverse order, or looped as a whole for continuous playback. The results are varied and nearly seamless in transition. I use these two HD resolutions: 1024 by 768 and 1280 by 1024 for my fractal explorations.
Each person may have an experience that differs from others who are seeing the same sequences. Comments I have gotten are "It looks 3D", "It feels like I'm floating", "Cool!", "Did you see it move? I didn't know it was moving until the screen turned", "very trippy". The end of the first sequence always garners a "whoa" sound from the audience. Red Neon has been the favorite of 890 elementary and high school students. My animations do not feature soundtracks.
I typically perform in the school's auditorium or equivalent space. I will need a few standard presentation aids such as a handheld microphone, PA or amplifier, LCD or DLP projector, projector screen, a table to set my computer on and a chair. Your audio and video personnel should be able to fulfill these requirements:
Projectors must support 1024 x 768 or higher video resolutions and be equipped with a standard PC video connector. The PC video input may be marked as a VGA or 15-pin connector. If you're not sure what these look like check on the back of a Windows-based desktop or tower computer or on the rear or side of a Windows-based notebook computer. If you have Internet access a simple Google search for "VGA connectors" will yield useful visual references. Audio system can be either mono or stereo. If your school, library, or other venue desires a guest musician then additional equipment may be necessary. The expense of securing a guest musician can also be arranged.
If you wish to have me come to your school, library, etc please write an email so we can work out an arrangement. I will travel to locations outside of the Atlanta / Georgia area so long as travel and lodging expenses are covered (where applicable).
Performance terms & fees are as follows:
Basic School Rate = $100.00 per hour (or any part thereof) for local Atlanta / Georgia schools only. Here is what you get for the basic school rate:
* Pre-event meeting with arts, math, music teachers and other school staff to discuss and disperse the Teacher Booklets
* Introduction and life achievements by the artist (myself)
* Live commentary as the animations play
* Q&A session before, during, or after the animations have played
** Encore performance of top three favorite segments
** Personal guidance on creating fractals. I will have one or more notebook computers on-hand allowing each student to explore and save one fractal. Fractals saved by the students will be burned on PC CD-ROM as a collection. Two editions of that CD-ROM will be returned to the school as a master disc and a backup disc. These discs will be LightScribed with the date and time of the event and the school's name. The LightScribe process enables me to use the same laser from burning the disc to marking the disc's label side.
Each teacher booklet features: plastic comb spine, sturdy clear plastic cover, strong black plastic backing, up to thirty-five color and b&w pages. These booklets have numerous colorful fractal illustrations. They are printed with pigmented or toner inks that provide up to seventy-five years of fade resistance. Teacher booklets are limited. Each participating classroom will receive one teacher booklet. The contents of these booklets are recreated with permission from their authors at The Math Forum and Rice University.

** denotes time permitting
Daily School Rate = $500.00 per school / per day (or any part thereof) for local Atlanta / Georgia schools only. Here is what you get for the daily school rate:
* Pre-event meeting with arts, math, music teachers and other school staff to discuss and disperse either the Teacher Booklets or Student Handouts
* Introduction and life achievements by the artist (myself)
* Live commentary as the animations play
* Q&A session before, during, or after the animations have played

+ Fractal art display of Limited Edition and/or Poster series prints ranging from 11 by 14 inches to 24 by 36 inches. Art on display may be matted, mounted & laminated, or framed. All Limited Edition art is hand signed, titled, and numbered by the artist.
+ Handcut Fractal puzzles (laminated and/or magnetic) will be on-hand for students to solve as teams. The school will be allowed to keep the puzzles for future generations. Magnetic and laminated puzzles may be printed with long lasting pigmented inks. These inks will provide fade resistance for up to seventy-five years. Magnetic puzzles can be assembled on steel surfaces such as filing cabinets and steel surface tables. As these puzzles are handcut I cannot replace any lost or damaged pieces.
+ Fractal Art raffle. The Fractal Art raffle allows each winner to choose one fractal product to be used in their classroom. The fractal products to choose from may include:
(1) 8 by 10 inch unmatted fractal print
(1) 11 by 14 inch matted fractal print
(1) Fractal poster or mini-poster
(1) Windows-based jigsaw puzzle CD-ROM (with up to 800 different games)
(1) Windows-based HD self-randomizing animation on CD-ROM
(1) Trippy fractal DVD

Each participating classroom will receive one teacher booklet. The contents of these booklets are recreated with permission from their authors at The Math Forum and Rice University.
Student handouts are the economy equivalent of the teacher booklets. Handouts may have up to thirty-five pages, are printed entirely with greyscale or monochromatic toner, they are jumbo clipped or paper clipped, and may be 3-hole punched. Each participating student will receive one handout.
