[Origami] Origami sighting: Five-intersecting tetrahedra

[A V Fernandez via Origami]

Adam Savage (of MythBusters fame) and Matt Parker (Standup Mathematician/ 
numberphile) collaborated in their attempt to show how to build a polyhedra 
model, based on an origami model (Tom Hull’s five intersecting tetrahedra) that 
someone named Polly apparently folded for Matt. They discuss the maths, 
symmetry, logic, and ultimate frustrations of building the model in one day. 
The long YouTube video is well worth one’s time to watch, IMHO. But then again, 
I enjoyed vicariously geeking out with them as they plan, with excitement, to 
build their colorful non-paper model.

Hi all!

I’ve been binge watching LA Law on Hulu- season 6, episode 14 “Diet, Diet,
My Darling”:
At the beginning of the episode there is a tense pretrial meeting about the
publication of a cookbook. One of the women involved in the case is folding
a crane. The senior partner asks what she’s doing. She says “origami. It
helps me relax.”
Same, girl. Same.

Please be aware that one of the other storylines in this episode is
upsetting. The crane is in the first few minutes and there are no other
references to origami after that.

I have nothing further and the defense rests,
sarah

[Origami] Origami Sighting

[Kevin Lee]

Hello Folders,

As I'm others will have noticed, on 6th October, the British Origami Society 
Magazine was the Guest Publication in the 'Missing Words' round of the 
venerable UK BBC satirical program, 'Have I Got News For You' - this in 
primetime on a Friday night, on BBC1.

Long running team captain, Ian Hislop (also editor of 'Private Eye' magazine) 
rather disappointingly made the joke about "it's going to fold", to half 
groans, half weak applause from the live audience.

Regards,

[Origami] Sighting - Book, "Death's End"

In "Death's End", book 3 of "The Three Body Problem", an origami boat 
and a tub of water is used to explain a new form of space 
transportation.

Re: [Origami] Sighting - 3D printing and origami tessellations

[mado...@gatheringfolds.com]

I can see that being used for practice grids and prototypes, but since I completely customize (rotation, number of spacings) my grid to the pattern I plan to fold on it and I fold a different pattern every time and those patterns don't generally require precreasing after the grid is folded it's not something I'd use for my tessellations.Paradoxically, I feel like having readily available precreased grids would discourage new tessellation folders from pursuing projects that are bigger than the machined grid or learning odd divisions and rotated grids, which have proved crucial to how I plan my projects (but that might just be me being old-fashioned).I also use gridding as an excuse to watch YouTube videos, so I don't mind doing it myself and I've chosen to design patterns that (mostly) don't require precreasing after the grid is done.I agree that the device would be invaluable in mass-producing a particular pattern, especially when all the fold lines go all the way across the paper!Happy folding,Madonna YoderGathering Folds

[Origami] Sighting and question: Taleb's Skin in the Game Spanish version

[Jorge E. Jaramillo via Origami]

Hello

Yesterday at a book store I saw Nicholas Taleb's book "Skin in the game" in
its Spanish version. The cover is different from the English version and
has an origami shark and an angel fish. I don't recognize the shark but the
angel fish looks similar to Peter Engel's.

You can check the cover at
https://www.casadellibro.com/libro-jugarse-la-piel-asimetrias-ocultas-en-la-vida-cotidiana/9788408247463/12461251?campaignid=16640038492=x=m%3A%5Bmobile%5D=%5Bmobile%3A%5Bnotmobile%5D%3A%5Bsearch%5D%3A%5Bdisplay%5D=CjwKCAjw9pGjBhB-EiwAa5jl3BB0EMTFkHv_cU8kdDRhBEhM-kN_3r5n7AzNYCVyPCpNfdsPZ6n-3BoCiJIQAvD_BwE

If the link doesn't work, search for "jugarse la piel nicholas taleb"
without the qoutes.

Does anyone know who is the shark author and confirm authority about the
angel fish?

[Origami] Origami sighting — money folds in art exhibition

[Karen Reeds]

This week’s New Yorker magazine (May 9, 2022, p. 14-15, 
https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2022/05/09/making-art-out-of-inflation ) has 
a very interesting piece about  the artist, Carla Zaccagnini, and her solo 
exhibition at Amant (April-August 2022),  a nonprofit art space in Brooklyn. 

The show, Cuentos de Cuentos/Accounts of Accounting, included a section called 
“Fleeting Fleets” —“dozens of busted currency boats” folded from  Latin 
American banknotes that had been discontinued because of hyperinflation. 

(Money folds? Poverty folds? Both would be accurate.)

I was very pleasantly surprised this morning to see the Origami

at the Natural History Museum, New York, briefly shown in the first segment
with The Young People's Chorus of New York City on CBS' "Sunday Morning".
It's the segment where they and Josh Groben are Singing "Happy Xmas", 
and the tree starts at about 56 seconds.


It looks fantastic, and you can pause the video to get a better look at 
all the models!

[Origami] Origami sighting - New Paper Mario game

[Jason Quattrini via Origami]

Nintendo has just released the trailer for the newest game in the Paper Mario 
series: Paper Mario: The Origami King.
The Paper Mario games are action RPGs, stylized so that everything in the game 
is 2D and appears to be made of and drawn on paper.  In the newest iteration, 
it appears the Origami King is taking over by folding all of the 2d characters 
in to 3D origami figures.  The trailer also displays other types of papercraft 
as well, as some things appear to be paper maiche, and there may be other forms 
I missed.

[Origami] Sighting -- Origami Cranes on Eureka

[OrigamiX]

This may be old news to everyone here, but since I'm a decade behind on 
television watching, who knows?


Eureka, Episode 16, season 4, 12.5 minutes into the show.

The characters are locked in a room where they are being tested in 
preparation for a trip to Titan (suspend disbelief here). Their 
challenge is to fold 100 origami cranes. One of the characters explains 
that this is the same test that NASA uses. The idea is to see if people 
become sloppier as they progress. Anyone know if there actually is a 
NASA origami challenge? Some of the "science" on Eureka has a basis in 
fact.

Two Women Fell Sick From the Coronavirus. One Survived.
By Sui-Lee Wee and Vivian WangMarch 13, 2020
The young mothers didn’t tell their children they had the coronavirus. Mama was 
working hard, they said, to save sick people.

Instead, Deng Danjing and Xia Sisi were fighting for their lives in the same 
hospitals where they worked, weak from fever and gasping for breath. Within a 
matter of weeks, they had gone from healthy medical professionals on the front 
lines of the epidemic in Wuhan, China, to coronavirus patients in critical 
condition.

The world is still struggling to fully understand the new virus, its symptoms, 
spread and sources. For some, it can feel like a common cold. For others, it is 
a deadly infection that ravages the lungs and pushes the immune system into 
overdrive, destroying even healthy cells. The difference between life and death 
can depend on the patient’s health, age and access to care — although not 
always.

The virus has infected more than 132,000 globally. The vast majority of cases 
have been mild, with limited symptoms. But the virus’s progression can be 
quick, at which point the chances of survival plummet. Around 68,000 people 
have recovered, while nearly 5,000 have died.

The fates of Ms. Deng and Dr. Xia reflect the unpredictable nature of a virus 
that affects everyone differently, at times defying statistical averages and 
scientific research.

As the new year opened in China, the women were leading remarkably similar 
lives. Both were 29 years old. Both were married, each with a young child on 
whom she doted.

Ms. Deng, a nurse, had worked for three years at Wuhan No. 7 Hospital, in the 
city where she grew up and where the coronavirus pandemic began. Her mother was 
a nurse there, too, and in their free time they watched movies or shopped 
together. Ms. Deng’s favorite activity was playing with her two pet kittens, 
Fat Tiger and Little White, the second of which she had rescued just three 
months before falling sick.


Before the epidemic, Ms. Deng had promised to take her 5-year-old daughter to 
the aquarium.
Dr. Xia, a gastroenterologist, also came from a family of medical 
professionals. As a young child, she had accompanied her mother, a nurse, to 
work. She joined the Union Jiangbei Hospital of Wuhan in 2015 and was the 
youngest doctor in her department. Her colleagues called her “Little Sisi” or 
“Little Sweetie” because she always had a smile for them. She loved Sichuan hot 
pot, a dish famous for its numbingly spicy broth.


Dr. Xia loved traveling with her family. She had recently visited Wuzhizhou 
Island, a resort destination off the southern coast of China.
When a mysterious new virus struck the city, the women began working long 
hours, treating a seemingly endless flood of patients. They took precautions to 
protect themselves. But they succumbed to the infection, the highly contagious 
virus burrowing deep into their lungs, causing fever and pneumonia. In the 
hospital, each took a turn for the worse.

One recovered. One did not.

Symptoms

Onset of virus & hospitalization

The symptoms came on suddenly.

Dr. Xia had ended her night shift on Jan. 14 when she was called back to attend 
to a patient — a 76-year-old man with suspected coronavirus. She dropped in 
frequently to check in on him.

Five days later, she started feeling unwell. Exhausted, she took a two-hour nap 
at home, then checked her temperature: It was 102 degrees. Her chest felt tight.

A few weeks later, in early February, Ms. Deng, the nurse, was preparing to eat 
dinner at the hospital office, when the sight of food left her nauseated. She 
brushed the feeling aside, figuring she was worn out by work. She had spent the 
beginning of the outbreak visiting the families of confirmed patients and 
teaching them to disinfect their homes.

After forcing down some food, Ms. Deng went home to shower, and then, feeling 
groggy, took a nap. When she woke up, her temperature was 100 degrees.

Fever is the most common symptom of the coronavirus, seen in nearly 90 percent 
of patients. About a fifth of people experience shortness of breath, often 
including a cough and congestion. Many also feel fatigued.

Both women rushed to see doctors. Chest scans showed damage to their lungs, a 
tell-tale sign of the coronavirus that is present in at least 85 percent of 
patients, according to one study.

In particular, Ms. Deng’s CT scan showed what the doctor called ground-glass 
opacities on her lower right lung — hazy spots that indicated fluid or 
inflammation around her airways.

The hospital had no space, so

[Origami] Origami sighting - NYTimes Sunday Style T Magazine

[Jacob Metzger]

In an article about the artist Haegue Yang in the NY Times Sunday Style
Magazine, they say:
"One of Yang’s first big comeback pieces, and the one that launched her
career, was 2006’s “Sadong 30,” which took place in Incheon, a port city in
South Korea, inside her late grandmother’s old house, abandoned for nearly
a decade. It was a ruin, with missing windows, peeling wallpaper and holes
in the ceiling. Yang placed broken and intact mirrors, a folding laundry
rack, lights, an oscillating fan and clusters of delicate origami stars
within the derelict rooms."

The adjacent picture shows an empty, abandoned room with multiple
origami kusudama and other modulars:

There is also a picture of her 2019 exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art in

Re: [Origami] Sighting: Are You Developing Skills That Won't Be Automated?

[Mary E. Palmeri]

For me the whole point of origami is the fun, challenge and satisfaction of
folding, NOT the results.  When I give someone an origami model I made for
them, it is partly the charm of the model they love, but it is just as much
the fact that I folded it myself, just for them.
Cannot replace that with any machine, no matter the beautiful or precise
results!!

Re: [Origami] Sighting: Are You Developing Skills That Won't Be Automated?

There's been a discussion of machines making origami, here are my thoughts:

Even though I agree that FIGURATIVE origami is not just following a diagram
but completing the model and then adding your shaping, there are models
that are geometric like tessellations that just by putting the precise
creases you get a beautiful result and for that case I think a machine can
do better than a human.

Totally!

It’s been an open question in generative, computational art for some time now. 
Can a system make creative decisions? The current consensus (for sake of 
simplicity of the argument) is that a good system can be a good design 
“collaborator” but in the end humans are making the judgement. Although 
evolutionary models are capable of making decisions based on criteria, humans 
are still defining and coding the criteria. 

Having done some work in fold automation and fabrication it’s an interesting 
idea, but still kind of far-fetched that a machine could even come close to 
human dexterity for origami. Sure, Devin Balkcom and some other teams have made 
origami making robots, but they are *very* limited.

The real frontier is scale, below what a human could ever fold. The 
self-folding Micro scale stuff is cutting edge, though mostly “kirigami” in 
style. 

We’ve got many years of reigning large over paper. We are “digital” origamists 
after all. Pun intended :D

Best, Matthew 

Re: [Origami] Sighting: Are You Developing Skills That Won’t Be Automated?

[Winnie Leung]

Ah – but even if a machine can fold, can it doing the shaping that makes a 
design look alive? :-)

As I recall talking to Joseph Wu, following a diagram to fold origami is like 
painting by number.  Doing origami however, is about putting a bit of yourself 
into the work. And I don’t think a machine can do that.

involves origami:

I was pretty sure though that someone has made a machine to do origami.

it in time to add my own cranes to the ones the WW II internment camp
survivors are bringing to the kids locked up in Karnes Detention Center,
Dilley Texas.

[Origami] Origami sighting

[Sherry Gerstein via Origami]

Has anyone read Shadows by YA/fantasy writer Robin McKinley? 

Origami has a prominent role in the book, first as a means for two teens to 
find friendship with each other, but also because it has a magic of its own—how 
it can turn paper into something else.

There are also these nice ornaments of origami models at every chapter opener. 
See the example below.  

Enjoy!

Re: [Origami] Sighting of origami models...

[sue neff]

We recently received a small package from France.  When I looked

Carefully at the French Post Office "printed" postal stamp I was

Surprised to see three folded air plane models.  It's nice to discover

Origami where you don't expect to find it. Including yesterday when we

Were visiting furniture stores.and saw several "folded book" sculptures

Used by the store decorator to compliment the room display.  Has anyone

Published a book  describing a series of the "book sculptures"?

[Origami] NYTimes: Origami Sighting

[Jacob Metzger]

https://nyti.ms/2GjaIjp

Not quite origami, but thought many list members would find this article in
the New York Times, about Donald Knuth, famous computer scientist and
author of the seminal computer science book   The Art of Computer
Programming ,
interesting.
The article mentions Martin and Erik Demaine and their mathematical origami
designs for how to fold paper and linkages
 into
different shapes.

NYTimes article here:

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/17/science/donald-knuth-computers-algorithms-programming.html

or here:

https://nyti.ms/2GjaIjp

Excerpt from article:

One section of his book is titled, “Puzzles Versus the Real World.” He
emailed an excerpt to the father-son team of Martin Demaine, an artist, and
Erik Demaine, a computer scientist, both at the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, because Dr. Knuth had included their “algorithmic puzzle fonts
.”

“I was thrilled,” said Erik Demaine. “It’s an honor to be in the book.” He
mentioned another Knuth quotation, which serves as the inspirational motto
for the biannual “FUN with Algorithms ”
conference: “Pleasure has probably been the main goal all along.”

But then, Dr. Demaine said, the field went and got practical. Engineers and
scientists and artists are teaming up to solve real-world problems —
protein folding, robotics, airbags — using the Demaines’s mathematical
origami designs for how to fold paper and linkages
 into different shapes.

[Origami] Origami sighting —origami in pills

[Karen Reeds]

The online article, "Teaching Old Drugs New Tricks "  AARP Magazine.
November 2018, has photos, but not clear enough to see the origami folds.

Karen  11/20/2018
"The Origami Robot

This tiny, biodegradable robot unfolds itself from a frozen capsule and
then scoots around in the stomach, controlled by magnets outside the body.
So far it has removed foreign objects and repaired wounds in an artificial
stomach. Its creators in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s
Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory say ingestible
robots may someday perform surgeries and deliver drugs, too.


The Accordion Pill

Made of pleated, biodegradable, medical-grade film encased in a capsule,
the Accordion Pill unfurls when the capsule dissolves in stomach fluid. The
pleated film releases the medication, tucked into its folds, for up to 12
hours. The pill was designed as a delivery system for meds, such as the
Parkinson’s disease treatment carbidopa/levodopa, that are best absorbed in
a slow, steady manner in the upper part of the gastrointestinal tract.

Thank you very much, Serena, for the alert. The link came from my husband.
He hasn't had problems, but I'll let him know. Neither of us want to be

[Origami] Origami sighting: red, white, and blue crane on book jacket

[Karen Reeds]

While I was browsing Rowman & Littlefield's website, the crane on the cover
of this new book caught my eye:

Peace Works: America's Unifying Role in a Turbulent World, by Frederick D.
Barton (Rowman & Littlefield, 2018)
https://rowman.com/ISBN/9781538113011

I asked who deserved the credit for the striking design and got this
response from Sally Rinehart, the publisher's Senior Designer:

"Hi Karen! Thanks for reaching out. I made the origami crane for the cover,
though I have to admit the final image is a bit retouched due to my lack of
origami experience (and the technical limitations that come with
constructing a DIY photo studio a cubicle). Thankfully there are YouTube
tutorials for nearly everything!"

Clearly, it's time for Sally to spread her origami wings and come to the
OrigamiUSA convention next month! The diplomat author, now based in
Princeton, has an open invitation to the Princeton Public Library Origami
Group, of course.
