  abstract: It is only recently, with the increasing interest in origami and folding in natural sciences and the humanities, that the fold as a new conception in a whole range of disciplines has begun to be conceived in a broader way. Folding as a material and structural process offers a new methodology to think about the close relationship of matter, form and code. It henceforth crosses out old dichotomies, such as the organic and the inorganic or nature and technology, and blurs the boundaries between experimental, conceptual and historical approaches. This anthology aims to unfold this new interdisciplinary field and its disciplinary impact, ranging from materials science, biology, architecture, and mathematics to literature and philosophy.

  note: "it is only with the recent increasing interest in 3D-structures within the natural sciences and the humanities that the fold has become a new object of study. Folding in contemporary thought is to be conceived of as a constitutive and fundamental principle in biomaterials, in philosophical work of both Deleuze and Leibniz, in the mathematics of René Thom and even in El Greco's paintings. Both as a material and a structural process, folding offers a new methodology to think about the relationship between matter, form, and code, being indispensable in view of new conceptions of structural transformations. Folding thus does away with old dichotomies, such as the organic/inorganic, or nature/technology, allows us to blur the boundaries between experimental, conceptual and historical approaches. This novel anthology aims to unfold this new interdisciplinary field and its disciplinary impact, and to open up new horizons in our thinking about analog and digital code, structure, and matter."--Page 4 of cover.
