PAPER FOLDING ART

The Origami Desk (PaperFoldingArt) is an interactive installation where users learn to fold paper into beautiful shapes. Origami Desk improves on the inscrutable origami diagrams we all know and love by showing videos that demonstrate what the hands should do, projecting lines onto the paper showing where the folds should be, and monitoring the folds of the paper to give the budding origami artist feedback if their folding should go awry. In addition, the exhibit will utilize architecture and music that complements the spare elegance of the folded structures the users will create.
