Planetarium Show: Fractals (Audio-Visual Journey)

Fractals Audio-Visual Journey* Patterns of Infinity Illuminated by Sound ◆ Friday & Saturday Nights at 7 PM Ages: Teens & Up, 45 mins SM&NC Members: $12/seat Non-Members: $15/seat Preview a Fractal Zoom | Immerse yourself in the infinite beauty of kaleidoscopic mathematical patterns. Hypnotic, surprising and unexpectedly emotional, Fractals is a sweeping audiovisual journey into infinity. Fractals are never-ending patterns created by repeating a simple process in a recursive feedback loop. As you zoom through a fractal, new details emerge at every scale — from the size of an atom to larger than the Milky Way. These patterns appear throughout nature, from trees and coastlines to hurricanes, and even in the technologies we use every day. Accompanied by an original score, this award-winning planetarium experience takes viewers on an extraordinary tour through natural and mathematical geometry. Educational, visually stunning and deeply immersive, Fractals is recommended for teens and up. Want to explore further? Visit the Fractal Foundation for even deeper zooms.
