Awaken
This is an extraordinary explanation of the connection between art, science, math and the human interaction. Collaboration in motion as the producer moves from continent to profession to culture, truly an amazing video.
How the art of paperfolding sets the stage for so much more!
Most people don't realize just how much origami has been a part of our lives, and will be for the unforeseeable future in exciting new ways. This film, at last, gives us a peek into a world of artists, scientists, mathematicians, educators and, of course, those that have the desire to simply fold paper. New horizons in medicine use origami to save lives. Teaching methods improve a child's ability to learn math. Complex mathematics are described with modular and curved folding. Industrial designers have made products for our daily lives. Molecular biologists are folding DNA! Vanessa Gould's lens shows us how this ancient art has developed as she interviews many of today's leading figures. This is the first (and only) film ever made on the subject.
Fold me up, Scotty!
Art and physics have never worked so well together. This film has inspired me to try folded metal sculpture.
