This fractal itself is composed of 6 human-scale Towers, each a mathematical marvel in its own right. At the IFF, we&#8217;re going to construct one of the amazing forms using 8000 of our beautiful new orange psychedelic business cards. Building will continue in a series of events over the coming months culminating in April with a weekend-long <strong>construction party<\/strong> led by Dr. Mosely. Come learn about fractal geometry and be part of this unique participatory art+math project by joining our core Tower Team. All Tower constructers will be acknowledged on exhibition credits in the IFF gallery and website, and in a forthcoming book.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>The Mosely Snowflake Sponge is on display at USC&#8217;s Doheny Memorial Library until January 30, 2013.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Join us on Saturday January 12 at the IFF for a workshop to begin building a giant\u00a0Tower Module Fractal\u00a0out of 8000 \u00a0business cards.
