Giant Dynamic Interactive Origami in Action

Queens University student Jonas Lobo is pushing the paper folding envelope with his giant dynamic interactive origami sculpture, currently on display in Area A, indoors at the main hall at NYSCI. Made from a 20 by 20 foot piece of paper (the largest that Lobo could find), the massive origami piece is suspended from an arduino-controlled cable that moves the sculpture according to a sensor in strangely hypnotic ways, so be sure to go see it in action!
