MAXIMUM CUBE - Anna Heinrich & Leon Palmer

A spectacular optical illusion was created for the De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill as part of the Event Coast exhibition programme. Artists Anna Heinrich & Leon Palmer are collaborated with Studio Fish Digital Media to create 'Maximum Cube'. This large scale installation used reflections, digital imagery, video projection and text to saturate visitors with sensory experiences.

An interactive passageway or "cube" made of translucent membrane formed an eleven metre link through the spaces of the De La Warr Pavilion Mirrors, light, scrolls of moving text activated by the visitor's footsteps and video projections combined to create an architectural, immersive space which aimed to alter perceptions of space, orientation and belief as the viewer passed through it.

"We make work that we would like to experience ourselves. Maximum Cube has been constructed as an environment in which video projections pass from the real world into a virtual world of mirrored reflections. People can cross this space on a walkway suspended between these two realities. Their movements interact with the projected images that form part of the installation. As well as being an exciting sensory experience we hope people will want to linger and quietly experience Maximum Cube as it slowly evolves." Artists, Anna Heinrich & Leon Palmer
