Once you enter an animation, you will also have to click on the buttons to start the motion. If your screen resolution is less than 800 x 600, you may have to scroll to reach the buttons.
The next animation allows construction of Iterated Function System type fractals. The directions are figure-outable while running the applet, but you may have to experiment some. Ask Fred Solomon for a written handout that covers in more detail the notation. Once you enter the MAIN SCREEN, you can press the box on the far right of the MAIN SCREEN to retrieve predefined fractals. Two of them are by WWC's own Ginevra Clark.

3D IFS fractals are 3D analogous to 2D IFS fractals using polyhedra insteadof polygons. ie Menger sponge is 3D analogous to Sierpinski Carpet.
http://www.fractal3d.com/faq/faq.shtml
What is a fractal? Fractal is a word invented by Benoit Mandelbrot to specify the complicated phenomena of shapes with self-similarity. According Benoit Mandelbrot words in his book, The Fractal Geometry of Nature, "I coined fractal from the Latin adjective fractus. The corresponding Latin verb frangere means "to break:" to create irregular fragents. It is therefore sensible - and how appropriate for our needs! - that, in addition to "fragmented" (as in fraction or refraction), fractus should also mean "irregular," both meanings being preserved in fragment."

Abstract
1. Introduction
Historically, mathematics has played an important role in visual art, particularly in perspective drawing; i.e., the means by which a three-dimensional scene is rendered convincingly on a flat canvas or piece of paper. Mathematics and art are two seemingly disparate fields according to contemporary views, the first often considered analytical and the second emotional. Mathematics does not play an overt role in most contemporary art, and in fact, many artists seldom or never employ even perspective drawing. However, there are a number of contemporary visual artists who make mathematics a focus of their work. Several notable figures in history paved the way for these individuals. This paper is intended to some degree to serve as an introduction to the Exhibit of Visual Mathematical Art held as part of Bridges 2001. The examples given here are taken for the authorÂ’s convenience from a limited set of artists. The choice of works is by no means intended to be a representative sampling of artists working in this area.
