Personally I don’t think I ever ‘solved’ a Rubik’s Cube – even though I am totally a child of the 80’s!
But I also never thought of using it to create a brilliantly unusual piece of artwork the way Pete Fecteau has done here.
Entitled ‘Dream Big’ Pete used 4,242 original Rubik’s Cubes to create a mosaic of Dr Martin Luther King.
The construction process took him approx 40 hours to complete and he came in the top 50 out of over 1,700 entrants world in ArtPrize 2011…which is quite an achievement.
He’s a designer from Michigan and it was while volunteering with registration duties for the ArtPrize (the world’s largest art competition) that he woke up one morning with the idea of using the Rubik’s Cube to create something.
Dare I say it he may have….wait for it….’had a dream’…?
