50 large cubes with changeable configuration are being exhibited in Aspen now and then moving to different cities. The cubes are used as mirrors in the daytime but showcase extreme sports in the night. Difficult to explain without seeing the images, which you can see here.

This course examines the shift from traditional cinematic spectacle to works probing the frontiers of interactive, performative, and networked media. Drawing upon a broad range of scholarship, including film theory, communication studies, cultural studies and new media theory, the course will consider how digital technologies are transforming the semiotic fabric of contemporary visual culture. Our focus will be on the phenomenon Gene Youngblood described three decades ago as expanded cinema an explosion of the frame outward towards immersive, interactive and interconnected (i.e., environmental) forms of culture.
