Statement
Folding Landscape 01 (Yaron Maïm, 2025) is a research-based 3D animation where mathematics becomes cinematic. What if a simple fold could reshape a world? Inspired by polyomino folding, it follows topological transformation—closing holes and changing connectivity—through a poetic world of cubes, mountains, and valleys. Wind murmurs, light glows, and shifting geometry turns abstraction into atmosphere, telling a story of becoming. Direction, concept, animation by Yaron Maïm. www.yaronmaim.art Sound by Alex Maïm. 57 seconds, 1920 x 1080. Berlin, 2025. Math and art research-based 3D animation. Project coordination by Skye Rothstein. Changing the Topology of Polyominoids Through Rigid Origami by John Mason, Erika Roldan, and Skye Rothstein. Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences and ScaDS.AI, Leipzig University.
