Dominique,
I am not familiar with L systems - but the Koch curve rings a bell.
I just recently choreographed a piece entitled "Within the Order of
Chaos," using fractal designs and chaos theory for inspiration. It is
not necessarily "dance and technology;" however, it is physics related.
You can actually view a video of the piece at
Unfortunately, since much of the piece was performed in black light, the
video suffers somewhat - but it provides good taste.
What function does the Koch curve serve in Lifeforms?
Also, I would be very interested in seeing some of the trees that you all
have drawn using the L systems. If it is possible, could you attach one
(can it be attached as a JPG?) to a personal e-mail to
sarah@morrisondance.com?
I have had a great fascination with trees lately, and I would be
interested in seeing what these computer generated trees look like!
