Statement
For the last couple of years, I have been interested in taking a small domain of the 2D Gosper curve and transforming it into a corresponding 3D sculpture. Such a sculpture should be constructed from a set of equal-length tube segments that form a single circuit. Consecutive segments should form bending angles of 60° or 120° as found in the planar Gosper curve. Ideally, the construction should be based on a recursive procedure, where simple elements of the Gosper curve get replaced by a scaled-down version of a larger sub-assembly found in the curve. However, such an ideal procedure that fills all of 3D space has not been found yet.
