Love this amazing combination of origami and LEDs to create a massive interactive exhibit at the Vancouver Aquarium.

The ancient Japanese paper-folding art form, known as origami, is fused with modern sensory technology in this interactive light installation called Jelly Swarm. Vancouver-based Tangible Interaction has collaborated with origami expert Joseph Wu to conceive and produce the interactive display that features 94 paper-crafted jellyfish, which they refer to as "jellies."

Each jelly is illuminated by an LED module and changes color based upon interaction.
