The idea for the Origamitronica project was born after artists Deborah Hustic and Maja Kalogera took part in a workshop for contemporary origami in electronic interfaces − FoldMe, mentored by the new media group Dimension+ of Hong Kong/Taiwan during last year’s Kiblix festival in Maribor. In 2012 Origamitronica was joined by Damir Prizmić, designer obsessed with electronics and paper, by experienced Zagreb origami expert Krešimir Rajki, with the newly founded collective Origamisti, as well as biotweaker Gjino Šutić. The objective of this creative/scientific association is future ongoing work lightheartedly researching into the concept of tessellation from various perspectives: art, design, architecture, biology, maths, kinetics and electronics. Origamitronics is developing as part of a project for experimentation with matter and electronics − Textil{e}tronics of Zagreb.
