Robert Lang Origami

I was reading an interesting article in the New Yorker last night about this physicist-turned-professional-origami artist from california. He was a laser physicist (his dissertation was called "Semiconductor Lasers: New Geometries and Spectral Properties”) and was interested in the infinite possibilities of paper folding using a relatively constrained medium.

I dug up his site and found some cool stuff. For some of the work he uses a laser paper cutter to score the paper before he folds it. Also, some of the folds take over 6 hours.

Remember, all of the pieces follow the rules of origami: only one sheet of paper folded. He also wrote software to help him design the folding systems.

Here is a link to the article if you are interested in reading it... I still haven't finished yet. Also, this is the website I was browsing for the images
