“The inspiration for the light installation “rubix xpress” is the famous 3D mechanical puzzle invented in 1974 by Hungarian sculptor and professor of architecture Ernő Rubik. As a child, Matti Jykylä himself was never able to solve the puzzle. The light installation is based on a video in which a 6-year-old Chinese boy solves the puzzle in 37 seconds. This feat is repeated in the Senate Square in a slowed down version, culminating in the successful completion of the puzzle.
The light installation utilises changes and movement in light and incorporates music that was especially composed for the work. The popular cube is taken to a whole new dimension in Lux Helsinki – 125,000 regular Rubik’s Cubes could fit inside the cube of light.”
