Fractal analysis


There is another word for this which Adrian gave me but I don't know it.
Anyway, it is like this.
You think of cauliflowers and
ferns


and you have it.
It is also what Susan Gal uses in her work on Eastern Europe and I am using it with my work with Heads Together.Also the Ecology metaphor from this wonderful book which I re-read every so often to cheer me up.

Fractals? Internet of things?

What will Dr kate bring us next?

I know it is all very exciting. The Science Museum was very exciting but the Shop was even better for kids' stocking fillers....

Mary Plain said...

Dr Kate, I need to know the word that will make cauliflower interesting, please?!

Kate said...

It begins with an f or a ph and is a term from maths and Katy from Heads has lots of examples of children drawing it but I can't spell it so I can't put it up.
I will try and get them to do this for me!
