Everything we know about geometry, mathematics, and the organization of matter has, up to now, been demonstrated by cutting into the wholeness of the sphere. By cutting the sphere we have pieces, parts, and fragments; it is no longer Whole. By compressing a sphere to a flat plane nothing is lost, all spatial information is compressed into a flat circle disc that remains Whole. Folding circles decompresses spherical information. All 2-D information is in the creases, 3-D information is replicated in the spatial reconfigurations, while mathematical functions are expressed in the movement of the circle. Generating this information is not possible by drawing circles, only by folding, reforming, and joining circles. Folding circles can generate traditional polygons, polyhedra, and many other beautiful and complex systems that are not possible to create using any other methods of modeling. This DVD is an introduction to the WholemovementTM process of decompressing information from the circle. Bradford Hansen-Smith demonstrates the basic concepts contained in the first nine folds of the circle. These activities use paper plates and are designed for adults, as well as children as young as 4 year of age. The DVD includes a gallery of models and an extended interview with Hansen-Smith.
