Menger’s Sponge - named for its inventor Karl Menger and sometimes
wrongly called Sierpinski’s Sponge – was the first three dimensional
fractal that mathematicians became aware of. In 1995 Dr Jeannine Mosely,
a software engineer, set out to build a level 3 Menger Sponge from
business cards. After 9 years of effort, involving hundreds of folders
all over America, the Business Card Menger Sponge was completed. The
resulting object is comprised of 66,048 cards folded into 8000
interlinked sub-cubes, with the entire surface paneled to reveal the
Level 2 and Level 3 fractal iterations.
