Since 2010, Gardiner&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/profile\/Matthew-Gardiner-3\">genre-defining research<\/a> has been situated within the <a href=\"https:\/\/ars.electronica.art\/futurelab\/en\/\">Ars Electronica Futurelab<\/a>. His research interrogates all folded media, natural, artificial and technological, to uncover artistic and scientific potential. <a href=\"https:\/\/matthewgardiner.net\/art\/On_Oribotics\">Oribotics<\/a> was coined in 2003 to frame ongoing research into the frontier art science field of origami and robotics, and is embodied through a <a href=\"https:\/\/matthewgardiner.net\/\">series of artworks<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/oribokit.com\/\">Oribokit\u00ae<\/a> (2020) is a robotic origami kit, created to encourage experimentation and expansion of oribotic research, by bridging the gap between art and science through artistic practice and process.<\/p>\n<p>You can also find useful information here:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ars.electronica.art\/futurelab\/en\/\">https:\/\/ars.electronica.art\/futurelab\/en\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ars.electronica.art\/futurelab\/en\/gardiner-matthew\/\">https:\/\/ars.electronica.art\/futurelab\/en\/gardiner-matthew\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/profile\/Matthew-Gardiner-3\">https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/profile\/Matthew-Gardiner-3<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/matthewgardiner.net\/\">https:\/\/matthewgardiner.net<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/orilab.art\/\">https:\/\/orilab.art<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/oribokit.com\/\">https:\/\/oribokit.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Matthew Gardiner is the person behind the creation of an entirely new field of research known as Oribotics, which [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":27864,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[26],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-27809","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-old-news-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.old.athens-science-festival.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27809","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.old.athens-science-festival.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.old.athens-science-festival.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.old.athens-science-festival.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.old.athens-science-festival.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27809"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.old.athens-science-festival.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27809\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":29480,"href":"https:\/\/www.old.athens-science-festival.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27809\/revisions\/29480"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.old.athens-science-festival.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27864"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.old.athens-science-festival.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27809"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.old.athens-science-festival.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27809"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.old.athens-science-festival.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27809"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
