S03E06 : En rouge et noir avec Robert Lang
(2) “The discipline of figuring out how to do spectacular things in constrained circumstances is particularly relevant to exploring #outerspace. 🚀
The relatively new field of computational #origami - using computer algorithms to solve the same problems as paper-folding - was pioneered in the late 20th century by #RobertLang, a physicist who combined his expertise in origami w/his work at #NASA’s #JetPropulsion Laboratory.”…
A lovely video of Robert Lang showing off the various levels of complexity in origami folding to get various abstract and realistic origami cicadas.
I love origami and used to fold a lot of it in my childhood. I think I'm at least at Lang's Level 3 and with some practice, I could go to Level 4 or 5, but I think that's my limit.
