A poll about origami.

You didn't include the option "Folded Paper".

:smile: Please tell me you were nominated for the Humour award. That was pretty funny.
 


I think it is "mathematical art", but how do I vote for both?

I guess I could set up another account and vote for both.

I could also comment on my own posts to make it seem like some on else agrees with me.

I wonder how many people actually do that.

possibly even more than I love PF. Is this blasphemous? :cry::confused:

Yes.

Bahaha. Well you guys have to admit, some of those origami from the TED video were pretty amazing. They made a mountain goat standing on a rock. Both the rock and the goat looked like mini-statues. I never in my wildest dreams would have thought that possible with Origami; the best I had ever seen are those dragon Origami they have at Chinese restaurants. :-p

I will be sure that we have an origami Sorry! to replace you when you are gone, in respectful memory.

Lol, awww thanks Ape :smile:
 


I had to bail part-way through the video, but will return to it soon.
Regardless, I consider origami to be art that is based upon mathematical principles. Most art is, if you look at it logically. As a for-instance, Asimov put forth a simple principle for making music that is sure to please human sensibilities.
