Science and Math - Oragami - all the MIT kids are doing it

"This happens often in science  - that things that were designed for aesthetic reasons - suddently have a mathimatical, scientific application" - LOOSE Quote from "Between the Folds"

I have this student working in paper for sculpture class.  He found such a clear voice in tag board and paper, representing the daily life, things that could even be controversial, but by presenting them in paper - he asks "What's the big deal" - having the viewer ask themselves that question.  Seeing their own views - alone in facing the object.  Like the image in photo on a news paper, he presents the news paper image in 3D and asks the viewer to just think about what they are seeing, saying, and thinking...

But like every student starting something fresh - they question themselves...  hold back....  "I just love paper"... paper, which we buy in pounds, which we abuse, reuse, and treat like a simplistic "starting material" - But I believe it is my favorite ... o.k. - one of my favorites.  I LOOOOOVVEE  art materials.

Math nerds - GO CRAZY
this is such a joy.  This is MIT's biggest growing fad.  Love love love it.

Art, Science, Math and happening.... 
Life has been dictated on paper, drawn on paper - it only makes sense that it should be visualized in paper


to you art & science,
here's your celebration
