“地球不平坦,地球不圓,地球是立方體” –John C,2020年

創建立方地球的想法來自我小時候玩《我的世界》的經驗。 Minecraft是完全數字化的,為什麼不讓在現實世界中創造自己的地球成為可能?因此,我想到了使用魔方來製作多變的地球的想法。 不規則形狀的魔方具有24個不同的小平面。我製作了24個不同的地球基本元素(岩石,山脈,樹木,奇怪的人物等)的3D模型,以在每個模型上顯示。因此,你可以旋轉魔方組合不同的元素以形成自己的地球。如果將魔方恢復為原始形狀(在這個不規則形狀的立方體中,則意味著你獲得了6個大的平面),平面上將顯示更大的模型,太陽和月亮每分鐘會互相替換–這意味著在地球上,一天是我們世界上的兩分鐘。根據出現的平面,還將播放不同的輕鬆環境音樂。 

我選擇了這種不規則形狀的魔方,因為它很酷,當你旋轉它時,不同的小平面會以不同的高度出現,帶有圖案:靈感來自遊戲Outer Wild中的外星人圖形的魔方看起來像是一個古老而消失的文明的遺物。 

我認為與魔方的交互非常適合AR藝術作品,它很複雜,需要手動操作,最重要的是,與在桌子上移動標記不同,它很難以完全數字化的方式完成–它高度“有形”。我認為這也是AR的意思-一種將數字內容添加到高度有形的東西的方法。 

作為一個混亂的邪惡人,你知道我不會停在製造和平,詩意的立方體上。因此,我也做了一個按鈕,讓你用核彈炸毀建造的世界。

“Earths are not flat, Earths are not round, Earths are cubes” – John C ,2020

The idea of creating cubic earths comes from the experience of playing Minecraft when I was younger. Minecraft is totally digital, why not make it possible to create your earths in the physical world? Therefore, I came up with the idea of using a Rubik’s cube to make a changeable earth.

The irregular-shaped Rubik’s cube has 24 different small planes. I made 24 different 3D models of basic elements of the earth (rocks, mountains, trees, strange figures, etc.) to display on each of them. So, you can turn the cube to form your own earth with the different combination of the elements. If you restore the Rubik’s cube to the original form (in this irregular-shaped cube, that means you got 6 big flat planes), bigger models will be shown on the planes, with sun and moon replacing each other every minute – that means on this earth, one day is two minutes in our world. Different relaxing ambient music will also be played according to the appeared planes.

I chose this kind of irregular-shaped Rubik’s cube because it’s cool, when you turns it, different small planes appear on different height, with patterns I designed with the inspiration from the alien graphics in the game Outer Wilds, the cube looks like a relic from an ancient, disappeared civilization.

I think the interaction with a Rubik’s cube is very suitable for an AR artwork, it’s complicated, it requires hands and most importantly, unlike moving markers around the table, it can hardly be done in a totally digital way – it’s highly “tangible”. I think that’s also what AR means to be – a way to add digital contents to highly tangible things.

As a chaotic evil person, you know I would not stop at making peaceful, poetic cubic earths. Therefore, I also made a button, for you to push and blow up the world you built with nuclear bombs.
