My father Alan Cernak, who shares my studio at the GoggleWorks Center for the Arts (goggleworks.org) was just accepted for an Artist Residency at a place called Studio Kura in Fukuoka, Japan! At this residency, his aim is to create giant interactive origami sculpture he calls Ugoki-Gami ("moving paper"). the Kickstarter page shows photo and video of the foam and paper prototype versions. but going to Japan to take this amazing opportunity will be very expensive, and so this Kickstarter is to help raise money for travel and material expenses. if you could share and pass along the link/info on your page or on any other networking sites you might have, we would be very very grateful! rewards for backing the project include glossy art prints of my work and his, and origami sculptures and decor (including "mini" versions of the ugoki-gami and other sculptural origami!). examples of rewards and poster options can be seen in my gallery here on dA, on the Kickstarter site and on the sites below:
