Wow!

This is a gorgeous silent, black and white video installation in a museum, called Flotilla: http://ordigami.net/flotilla

Tiny beautiful origami, mostly fractals, unfold on the surface of water.

This is one artsy way to physically model multiplication.

The video shows tree and substitution fractals, constructed in several different ways appropriate to the medium of paper folding and cutting.

Thank you, Heather!

Cheers,
Maria Droujkova

Make math your own, to make your own math.

Hello there, Maria!

I got this video from a friend, and I thought you might find it very interesting.  It's sort of like origami on water!

I totally agree with Maria, WOW!! A very interesting demonstration of the power of water's cohesiveness to release the potential energy stored in the folds. Thank you Heather.
