Personally, I like it.

Maybe don't visit a contemporary art gallery. You might find it frustrating.

Did you see the material? It's cast aluminum.

Here's one that seems perfect for the study of some aerospace engineer:

Probably not easy to cast aluminum to look like crumpled paper. Probably takes as much time and effort as a week working on a web app.

It's cast directly from the paper. It sounds complicated.

This one is pretty neat: http://www.selbyfleetwoodgallery.com/artwork/raptor/5

A bronze casting of an origami bird.

This is art. To some people it seems like a joke. There is not much else to discuss here since it is all very subjective.
