Cyril Lancelin activates a cube through light and movement<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

French artist and designer Cyril Lancelin<\/a><\/strong>, working through Town and Concrete, presents CUBE GRAPHICS at Marina Bay Sands for i Light Singapore<\/a><\/strong>, transforming a simple cubic volume into an immersive public artwork<\/a><\/strong> that visitors can enter and navigate. Built from a dense array of repeated tubular elements, the installation<\/a><\/strong> explores how geometric systems can produce shifting visual effects, creating a structure that appears to oscillate between architecture, sculpture<\/a><\/strong>, and digital imagery<\/a><\/strong>. Positioned within the festival\u2019s urban setting, the project invites visitors to engage with space through movement, perception, and interaction.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

From the outside, CUBE GRAPHICS reads as a vibrating surface whose appearance changes according to light<\/a><\/strong> conditions and viewing angles. The repetitive framework generates moir\u00e9-like visual effects that blur the distinction between rigid geometry and fluid form. Rather than presenting a static object, the installation relies on the viewer\u2019s movement to activate its optical qualities, making perception itself a central component of the work.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Inside, color gradients, reflections, and illuminated surfaces create a luminous environment that contrasts with the monochromatic exterior. A sequence of openings and corridors guides visitors through the structure, altering their sense of scale and orientation while producing constantly changing visual compositions. The installation uses a parametric logic of repetition and variation to create spatial complexity from a relatively simple construction system.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

As a walkable sculpture, CUBE GRAPHICS reflects Lyon-based artist<\/a><\/strong> Lancelin\u2019s ongoing interest in using modular geometries to generate immersive environments. The project examines how contemporary public artworks can function simultaneously as physical spaces and image-making devices, encouraging visitors to explore, photograph, and reinterpret the work through their own perspectives.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

After dark, the installation takes on a different character as artificial lighting amplifies its layered patterns and saturated colors. Presented as part of i Light Singapore, CUBE GRAPHICS reflects a vision of contemporary environments where art, architecture, and digital culture converge into immersive and shareable experiences.\u00a0<\/p>\n
