Flottille unfolding origami is anti-nanotechnology, pro-chilaxing (video)


Turn a lights off, holder up your Music for Airports LP, as well as transparent your appointments for a rest of a afternoon — it’s time to get your decrease upon with Flottille, little paper snowflakes which reveal as they’re unprotected to water. French artist Étienne Cliquet uses a mechanism to pattern a machine-cut pieces, folds them by hand, as well as afterwards cautiously dips them in to a H2O with a span of tweezers. The shapes enhance solemnly as well as hypnotically, expected a outcome of fullness by vein movement — not utterly self-folding origami, though it’ll do in a pinch. Cliquet hopes they’ll gleam a little light upon a “disturbing intensity of micro as well as nanotechnology.” Fine, though what about a unfortunate intensity of origami-based technology?
