The July 30th edition of the British podcast No Such Thing as a Fish
(informative and often hilarious), Episode 384, goes into some facets of
origami in the fourth segment, starting at the 42 minute mark. There are some
minor errors, unless you're Robert Lang, who is spoken of in the past tense!

Greetings O-listers,
In the first episode of the new Hulu series Dimension 404, a tattoo of
what looks like Alice Gray's origami peace dove appears several times as
a minor plot device.
I've only seen the one episode, it was kind of like Black Mirror on
Prozac.

I hope they make a million on this! Simple and brilliant.

The links below take you to an article from the New York Observer's
Gallerist NY section. I found it denigrating to the origami artists who
brought the suit, and to the art of origami generally. The writer
strongly implies that there is a difference between "art" and "origami
