Step Inside The HyperCube

TESSERACT aka HyperCube from 1024.

Making its grand entrance at the New Forms Festival (CA) before going on to tour the Signal Festival (CZ), Glow Festival (NL) and many more, the Tesseract (aka the HyperCube)  is the latest installation from Paris based collective 1024 Architecture. Composed of a 3D cube rigged with rotating, dancing, and all-around pulsating lights, the HyperCube is like the sculptural equivalent of a Tiesto show--with full audience participation encouraged. Set to a thumping dub-step beat, check out the video above to see the HyperCube in action.

With an open scaffold construction for its base, a multidimensional series of lights have been fused to the cube, allowing the display to project in any direction.

Stepping inside, viewers are able to experience a futuristic world as the "living" installation morphs and changes over time.

Controlled in realtime by Ableton Live and 1024 Architecture’s custom software written using objective c++, pre-programmed images and positions are able to appear at whim.

"In mathematics, the Tesseract is the four-dimensional version of the cube. What the square is to the cube, the cube is to the Tesseract," 1024 Architecture recently stated.

"The installation offers a new way of seeing the urban environment and literally invests everyday reality with an extra dimension. Like the cube, all the fixed shapes are translated into a fourth dimension."

In the past we've covered 1024 architecture extensively, this year also filming their collaboration for the launch of THUMP. Check out the video below for more laser goodness.
