Description

Think origami is just paper planes and cranes? Meet a determined group of theoretical scientists and fine artists who have abandoned careers and scoffed at graduate degrees to forge new lives as modern-day paper folders. Together they reinterpret the world in paper, creating a wild mix of sensibilities towards art, science, creativity and meaning.

    For anyone who thinks that the range of origami begins with child's play and ends with intricate--if somewhat kitsch--art, this film will change that concept (and maybe you) forever. From origami to the theory of everything.
  • Very interesting, another must see movie !!! ;)

    Art and physics have never worked so well together. This film has inspired me to try folded metal sculpture.

    This documentary is more than just the story of guys folding paper. The film parallels the evolution of the paper-craft to the art history that lead up to the relitively new art form. not only are the examples amazing, but the story behind them is just as interesting. well worth watching.

    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.

    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.
