The Augmented Cube

Interactive sculpture — augmented reality, data architecture

2022 / reactivation 2026

Synopsis

The Augmented Cube is an architecture of pure interaction. A cubic structure (~3×3×3 m) that the public enters physically. Visitors' movements sculpt sound and light in real time — no keyboard, no controller, no instructions. The body is the interface.

The work reformulates the question of the spectator: who acts, who receives? Inside the cube, the distinction dissolves. Each configuration of visitors — one, two, six people — produces a unique result. Silence and stillness are data too.

The experience is designed for continuous flow: the public enters and exits freely, without imposed sequence. Presented at ÊTRE JEUNE 2026 (Centre JOY Nouaceur, Casablanca — Fondation EPANWE) — validated in real public exhibition conditions.
