Lantern
Purpose
Material
Cardboard, stock paper
Kinetic origami
Process
Arduino, servo motor
The inspiration of my kinetic origami installation comes from traditional Chinese lanterns that are hung and used as a festive object. The paper sculpture is very simply cut through and connected vertically from end to end to create a cylindrical shape of the main body. The motion of kinetic movement is also vertical, using servo’s pulling force to drag and contract the paper to form a bulbing look.
