Physicist turned software engineer. Enjoy mixing computing/maths/art/music, e.g. making fractals in PowerPoint: emlyn.github.io/PowerPointFrac

You can also check out all the #fractal images I have created using this method, and even download the #PowerPoint files to play around with yourself, here: emlyn.github.io/PowerPointFrac

#MathArtMarch Day 31 (Change)
I finally got around to making a short screen recording of how to create these #fractals in #PowerPoint.
Maybe it will change the way you create your presentations :-)

#MathArtMarch Day 25 (Chaos)
Not chaos in the mathematical sense (I'm not sure that's possible with this #PowerPoint method), but this distorted carpet looks quite chaotic.

#MathArtMarch Day 18 (Chance)
Many of the images I've made are based on known #fractals or slight variations of them. This one is not based on anything in particular, I just stumbled upon it by chance as I was playing around in #PowerPoint.

#MathArtMarch Day 17 (Symmetry)
Lots of choices for this prompt, but in the end I decided to go for this Vicsek #fractal. Even though the colouring actually breaks the some of the symmetry, I think it somehow feels more symmetric than in a single colour.

#MathArtMarch Day 16 (Connected)
The Pentadendrite (a variation of McWorter's Pentigree) #fractal looks weird and asymmetrical, but 5 of them connect together perfectly to make this nice order-5 symmetric image.

@foldworks I plan to put together a little screen recording soon showing the process, but in the meantime you can download the PowerPoint files from here: emlyn.github.io/PowerPointFrac to play around with them. The secret ingredient is the Slide Zoom feature.

#MathArtMarch Day 15 (Triangle)
A variation on the Sierpiński Triangle: split it into 16 ¼-length triangles and remove 3 around the centre. Repeat in each sub-triangle, and you get this.
As usual, made entirely in #PowerPoint.
