Broadcasting Tangible Narratives (& Tangible Objects) I LOVE THIS!

This complex paper model exists online in the form of a pattern that can be downloaded for free and built anywhere, by anyone who has a printer, a few basic office supplies, and patience. I really like papercraft – I’ve already written here about my love for simpler, less work-intensive papercraft as distributed art projects.

Excerpt:

"Delivering Physical Objects Digitally

Of course, detailed patterns for real objects can be transmitted over the Internet, and we’ve been doing that for a while.

This gives us an idea of one way we might be able to broadcast physical objects to deliver a narrative through them. There is the issue, however, of skill. Putting together advanced papercraft like this one is very much like traditional model building, and not every potential player will necessarily have the skill or the inclination to build a complex model."
