The MetroABQ: Fractal Capital of The World
Happy New Year!!
A great time to check out Fractal Murals...
The MetroABQ always amazes: sometime during the last many months, the locally grown Fractal Foundation installed some new murals at Monte Vista Elementary School, in Nob Hill. Their Fractal Challenge contest--where local school-age children learn code & create amazing ever-replicating computer-generated fractal designs--came to a close last year & some of the great fractal designs have been installed in a few select places around the city since then.
Where else but in the Metro do you get to experience stunning works of complex science &math-designed art, created by students learning to code & displayed publicly for all to appreciate? The winning fractals can be found here...
The grande dame Mediterranean Revival-style Monte Vista Elementary School is the geographic anchor to the MetroABQ's most recent Historic District, the Monte Vista & College View Historic District.
Nob Hill is fortunate to have the fabulous 90-year-old Monte Vista Elementary School to use as an extravagant canvas: three gigantic new fractal murals again grace the walls of the historic school, above. The third is below.The fractal murals certainly add the the grandness of the building.
