In 1982, when the last grant ran out and the UCSC administration decided not to institutionalize the project, we went overground, as Aerial Press.
Within a few years, we established a graduate program within the UCSC Math Department, called the Computational Math Program. This also was discouraged and eventually abandoned by the UCSC administration.
Since 1990, the VMI has been supported by small grants from individuals, to continue the creation of new materials relating to chaos theory, and its applications in the sciences and arts.
