Prototype

fractal art form from square patterns arranged on an Archimedean spiral equation:



















Children can interact with this piece using the joysticks on the gamecontroller. So far, they can alter the rotation of the square (which changes the pattern of the fractal entirely) or adjust the proportion of the primary square in the center.

Other factors that I want to be to make flexible are:
  • other geometric shapes (stars, triangles, circles... etc)
  • other fractal equations and patterns
  • color
  • proportion between adjacent shapes
Also, I want tabs to pop up on the side that gives shape name, rotation angle, and proportions so that students can see both visually and numerically what they are doing to transform their fractal art.
