Paper Project

Created by artist and scientist Charles Kazilek and printer and paper maker Gene Valentine (July 29, 1938 – February 22, 2022) in 1999 the project began exhibiting works in various formats including 2D and virtual 3D images.

When wearing 3D glasses, it is as if the viewer has been reduced to the size of a period at the end of a sentence and can explore the invisible structure and beauty of paper.

In 2004, Jennifer Tsukayama became a member of the Paper Project and the group created a traveling 3D immersive room based on the earlier dance performance.

Since its creation, images from the Paper Project have been viewed around the world in museums, science centers, and on the Web.

In addition to exhibits, the Paper Project has developed educational content that can be used to engage students in art, history, biology, chemistry, and physics.
