modulorbeat-ambitious urbanists and planners

Project: Kubik BLN/BCN,
Berlin / Deutschland & Barcelona / Spanien
Illuminated cubes, visual effects and electronic beats: these are the ingredients of the Kubik temporary open air clubs in Berlin and Barcelona. The dynamic space, light and sound sculpture is based on standard industrial liquid storage tanks. The incorporation of a light bulb turns the plastic tanks into giant luminaires, which can be stacked and arranged to form objects of varying size and shape. A computerized lighting system with dimmers and colour filters is synchronized with the sound system, and allows the whole installation - or individual cubes - to pulsate with multicoloured or monochrome light, faster or slower, in time with the beat of the music.

The jury's verdict: "The jury was greatly impressed by the extreme lightness, flexibility, aesthetic quality and recyclability of the project."
