I dont know what rock I’ve been hiding under but I just discovered Matt Shlian and his amazing paper sculptures through Ghostly Internationals tweet  (@ghostly) about a project they are working on together, Which I will definitely be looking out for. After watching the video posted below I couldn’t help but check out the rest of his works, talks and art that is available online. Very impressed with his geek cred, he gave a Ted talk, was recently featured in Data Flow 2 & Papercraft – both which are published by the amazing Gestalten, and of course his work with Ghostly. Check out the video, and a few of his works below and then be sure to sign up for the RSS feed for his blog.

Paper Cuts from Michigan Daily on Vimeo.

I watched Vanessa Goulds amazing documentary on Origami called “Between the Folds” recently.  (it’s availble on Instant Watch for you netflix junkies) While there are many great interviews with inspired folders Chris K Palmers work really stood out to me. Particularily his description of the process involved in his “Flower Towers” which unfortunately is missing from his vimeo post. Check the documentary for that.

However you do get to see some of the amazing recusrive geometry in the video.
