This presentation by Penny Chadwell was made available by Studio UFO to all the current students in the Open Studio and the Plein Air Class.  Penny was very helpful as artists brought their lap tops and cameras to get one on one, hands on help.  I think that this information and the ability for artists to understand and use it is vital to the professional artist and I was happy to be able to make it happen.  I also want to thank Mount Baker Gallery for the beautiful conference room and state of the art digital projector.

Barnsley to give public lecture at WWU & Art Exhibit at Studio UFO.  DON’T MISS THIS PUBLIC LECTURE AND ART EXHIBIT!

 Michael Barnsley will give a public lecture entitled The Fractals of Lake Padden at the Western Washington University at 7pm on July 16^th. In addition, there will be an exhibition of his art at STUDIO UFO on July 18^th.  Michael Barnsley has had a successful career in mathematics and business. He is a world leader in the development of fractal compression technology, and is the author of two major books, Fractals Everywhere published by Morgan Kauffman and SuperFractals published in 2007 by Cambridge University Press. He is featured in the Arthur C Clarke special The Colors of Infinity and the PBS Nova series The Strange New Science of Chaos. 

In a recent review in Nature it is asserted that superfractals will revolutionize the way that art, mathematics, physics and biology are combined to produce a unified view of the complex world in which we live. Michael Barnsley will explain to a general audience what superfractals are and what they have to do with Lake Padden. He will demonstrate his new invention by means of which nature and mathematics may be fused to produce beautiful art.

 Michael Barnsley has had a lifelong interest in the natural world:

All my life, everyday, nature calls my eyes to stare and stare with wonder; I have a sense of the pristine, the perfect which lives both in mathematics and in the visual observable world. My art tries to capture this, to see again, as though for the first time, the beauty of it all.

 The processes he has employed to produce his art will intrigue visitors to Studio UFO but much will be explained during the lecture at Western Washington University. Michael Barnsley is a professor of mathematics at the Australian National University who divides his time between Australia and the US. Public Lecture – Western Washington UniversityScience Lecture Hall SL120, July 16^th at 7pm Art Exhibition – STUDIO UFO 301 W. Holly Street, Bellingham, WA 98225 ,July 18^th  from 6-8pmLight refreshments will be served.
