Doing the Math.

Fractals: A geometric pattern that is repeated (iterated) at ever smaller (or larger) scales to produce (self similar) irregular shapes and surfaces that cannot be represented by classical (Euclidian) geometry.

Absolutely beautiful from far away and up close. WH is quickly becoming fractalesque. The surface, the product is an articulation of the collective vision of WH, and a vision of the individuals who together, and only together, can equal the whole. We each foreground our specialization, which infuses each of those areas with the best possible product, and yet we each look into the areas where we overlap with another. Spaces where two minds, three, many many minds create together. And this is happening backstage if you will. Imagine if we could get the students doing this too.

"Simple" projects wind up requiring collaboration between IT, design, professors, admins, etc. Today was one of those days where we just shared ideas and knowledge. Creating new spaces for student collaboration, new energy for writing and creativity in academia takes endless sharing of knowledge, a sign of the age we live in.

I find it perfect that we are enacting the vision that we have for our students as well. The poet in me finds it beautiful, and for the science minded...remember that it is mathematically inevitable.
