The Origami Revolution Event was extremely interesting to me. As somebody who enjoys science and math, I thought the way the event illustrated the art of origami as a mathematical problem was intriguing. It also made this art concept much more comprehensible to me as I am someone who is better at math and science compared to the art and humanities. Before this event I never fully comprehended how much the arts can influence the sciences and math, but this event in my opinion was the perfect example of how these two fields can be combined to create meaningful innovations. This event really clarified the connection between these two fields. Scientists can harness the creativity explored in the arts to make technological advancements while artists can use mathematical concepts to create boundary pushing art. A great example of scientists using the arts came in the event when scientists were developing a space shield for a space telescope that uses folding techniques that are fundamental in origami.
An example of an artist taking inspiration from mathematics is when two origami creators that are mathematicians seek to create a formula/program where any 3-D object can be made from folding a 2-D object.
These examples in the event where two that stuck with me and increased my understand of the connection between arts and science the most. I would highly advice this event to anyone wondering what event to choose between, especially for those who are more science and math oriented than art. I think this event is a great way for people who do not normal pay close enough attention to the art to see the value in art. This event certainly had this effect on me.
