Inspired by the Japanese tradition of folding a thousand cranes in order to receive a wish, the LA-based Crimson Collective has come up with a massive origami crane named the “Ascension” that will be displayed at Coachella music festival this weekend. Finished in modular aluminum tubes covered with a white mesh fabric, Textilene, the structure measures 45 feet in height with a wingspan of 150 feet and weighs about 35,000 pounds. The origami bird integrates multi-colored LEDs powered by a solar system to illuminate at night, creating a mesmerizing view to attract visitors.
