    Unfolding the Mystery of Curved-Crease Sculpture with Origami Theorists from MIT

    Martin Demaine, Eric Demaine

    MIT researchers Eric and Martin Demaine collaborate as origami theorists to synthesize mathematical geometry with physical sculpture, operating on the principle that fun fuels superior artistic execution. Their bidirectional workflow transforms unsolved mathematical problems into interactive artworks like the "Solve Me" sculpture, which embeds hidden research challenges within complex, visually deceptive paper designs. By creating these impossible geometries, the duo simultaneously generates new mathematical puzzles and drives future research trajectories at the frontier of known solutions.
