What exactly can one do with sponges that involves computer? Well, you could make a web page- but we've already done that. How about using mathematics? Due to their simple structure, sponges are now being used to create computer images with mathematical configurations. Such simulations are similar to fractal geometry, and they are also extremely vivid.

We would like to thank Japp Kaandorp of the University of Amsterdam for his contributions to this page. He enabled us to discover this area of study, and he has conducted extensive research in this area. Here are a few examples of his work:
