Paper Origami
cubbecraft.com
This little LED-lit cube is much more than just a paper lantern: It's a translucent and flexible thin-film electronic circuit that hooks up a battery to an LED, limber enough to be folded into an origami box. And the coolest thing about circuits like these? You can make them at home.

The BoxxShow
Nate and I are curating a BoxxShow at the Happy Collaborationists' Exhibition Space. Please come!
Caturday, November 22nd
7:00PM - 11:00PM
1254 N. Noble, First Floor
Happy Collaborationists' Exhibition Space
The Happy Collaborationists Exhibition Space is pleased to announce the third show to be part of our one show per month curriculum. The BoxxShow, curated by Dain Oh and Nate Hitchcock, is based on Boxxblog (http://boxxblog.blogspot.com), an online blog and curatorial experiment.
The exhibition will feature works by Dain Oh, Chris Collins, Wendy Spacek and Ilia Ovechkin. Aditional decorations will be provided by Dain Oh, Nate Hitchcock and the Happy Collaborationists.
"The cube is a Platonic solid, also called the regular hexahedron. The term is derived from Plato's notion of a regular solid out of four classical elements: earth, air, water and fire. The metaphorical conception of an infinite line connecting nature is extremely beautiful; it is the celebratory painting of the beginning of human logic.
A box functions as a tabla rasa by taking the form as a symbolic and physical container to absorb and/or mimic the containing object. Its utopic and minimal simplicity is also open to intricate physical and emotional complexity and can create infinite amount of elaborate patterns and structures. It is the ultimate
metaphor and it is ubiquitous. However, its existence is so modest and tranquil that we often do not recognize living within a box. It is a child of mother nature and something that we continue to struggle with; we are constantly trying to be "outside the box." Before this perilous revolution, we must understand and appreciate its symbiotic nature with humans."

The Joseph Cornell Box
Super Urbanoutfitters-esque, but original. I want the book. It's totally a waste of money, but I want it. This is what I used to do when I was little, too.

I haven't posted here in awhile. I apologize. So much stuff had/has happened past few months, and I am still exhausted.
I just had a thought though that people, particularly artists who deal with boxes as their subjects usually become very obsessive of the subject. Boxes attract. I think one of the reasons why this might be is because boxes are a representation of most common/basic forces on Earth: horizontal and vertical lines. (relative to gravity)
I do not have many examples off the top of my head, but Nate just sent me a link that made me think of this.
Example: Aakash Nihalani
