Gregory Sams

Speaker, 1997

Gregory Sams, president of Chaos Works, is an expert in chaos theory, fractals, emergent computation, self-governing criticality and non-linear systems.

He pioneered the introduction of natural foods to the UK - opening SEED macrobiotic restaurant in 1967 at the age of 18, Ceres grain store in the Portobello Road two years later and Harmony Food (now Whole Earth Foods) soon after, as well as being closely involved with Harmony Magazine and Seed, the Journal of Organic Living. He conceived and launched the original VegeBurger in 1982, built it up for six years, then moved out of food and into fractals, founding Strange Attractions - the world's only shop dedicated to chaos theory (London 1990). Since then he has gone on to produce and license fractal images worldwide on everything from posters to clothing fabrics. He has had rich experience of the counter-culture becoming mainstream and is well placed to present this refreshingly acerbic, humorous, and optimistic study of the current state we are in.
