Detroit Institute of Arts    

Father and son Erik and Martin Demaine blur the lines between art and mathematics, moving from designing sculpture to proving theorems and back again. Paper folding is a great setting for this approach, as it mixes a rich geometric structure with a beautiful art form. Mathematically, the pair continually develop algorithms to fold paper into any shape. Sculpturally, they explore curved creases, which are poorly understood in mathematics but have potential applications in robotics, manufacturing and self-assembly. Lately, the two have been examining how folding changes with other materials, such as hot glass, which opens a new approach to glass blowing, and new ways for paper and glass to interact.

Sunday, January 25, 7pm. Free but advanced reservations required.
