And if you are in LA, you can catch her through October performing in LOVECRAFT: NIGHTMARE SUITE at the Lex Theatre in Hollywood.
Paper and papercraft are incredibly expressive and relatively easy, and in the hands of such masters as these... really impressive.
Designer Taras Lesko's build of a Pagani Zonda supercar. (the video includes loud music... so... be forewarned.)

SmartInversion is a helium-filled flying object that moves through the air by turning inside-out. This constant, rhythmically pulsating movement is known as inversion and gives the flight model its name.

From the Festo web site:
SmartInversion is a helium-filled flying object that moves through the air by turning inside-out. This constant, rhythmically pulsating movement is known as inversion and gives the flight model its name. With the intelligent combination of extreme lightweight construction, electric drive units and control and regulation technology, inversion kinematics can be indefinitely maintained to produce motion through the air.
