FLorigami: Folded Images of Florida's Hidden Nature, was on display last year at The Morikami Museum & Japanese Gardens. The online exhibit shows a small fraction of the 25 origami paper sculptures created by the artist, Michael LaFosse, to depict the flora and fauna of the Florida Everglades. A short textual description and commentary accompanies each image, but there is little if any metadata (the usual "properties" right-click box) explaining how the images were created, why they were chosen, or the intended audience.
It appears that one focus of the exhibit was to raise awareness of the number of endangered species that live in the Everglades and explain how all of the animals and plants are related to each other. Given that goal, the audience for the exhibit is probably the general public.
On the other hand, the Museum and Gardens Website explains quite a bit more about itself generally, than it does about this particular exhibit. It is devoted to educating the public about Japan's rich history and diverse culture. It's amazing what one can learn from a Japanese garden and museum Website. There are hundreds of images, and they are adding more all the time. There's a search function as well. They have representative images from a dozen or more past exhibits and three exhibits are more extensively documented online. Their garden is the 8th ranked in the world, outside Japan. The garden images are stunning, though they are not very large (none of the images are more than slightly bigger than thumbnails, and do not enlarge) and seem more in the nature of illustrations for the text than an exhibit in themselves. Still, this site made me want to pack up and head to Florida right this instant (but I love gardens and am probably easily impressed in this regard, or maybe I just want to get away for awhile).
