Art
In Soundsuits, artist and performer Nick Cave embeds costumes with potential and dynamism through sound (inherent) and movement (dance). In the same fashion, I embed potential and dynamism into tentative architectures [6] as voice (inherent) and movement (origami).

Science
How is Song Origami relating to the body, either as a worn garment, or as an external organ? How do the form and fold patterns adapt to the folds and curves of the body? What is the scale across the specie and what is it based on? In insects, wing scale is modulated by body size, and relation to other individual organs.

Potentials. If the forearm is the deterritorialization of the front paw, what is the equivalent for Song Origami? Or has it been deterritorialized and forgotten, waiting to be reterritorialized?

Technology
Taking cue from insect mechanisms for deploying their wings, how is Song Origami deployed? Is it an exterior shell, separate from the body, deployed through voice, an external organic user interface, or is it part of the cyborg body, deploying like coleoptera beetles unfolding their wings? What is morphing: The Song Origami or the body? Is the cyborg body metaphorical for a virtual body? Or body in virtual space?

Organism
Coleoptera beetles use two main veins and abdominal muscles to initiate folding and unfolding of the complex fold patterns of their wings. How do these biologic elements translate to mechanics of Song Origami? What is the cyborg body?
