Puzzle Facade transforms the Ars Electronica Center (Linz, Austria) into a giant Rubik's cube. The participant interacts with the interface-cube. This cube holds electronic components to keep track of rotation and orientation. This data is sent to a computer with a software that changes the lights and color of the building in correlation to the handheld interface-cube. The strong spatial connection between the architecture (AEC building), the referred object (Rubik's cube) and the designed tangible interface (interface-cube) enhances the site-specific aspect of the project.
Javier Lloret's [ES] work crosses boundaries between media art and design. He holds an M.A. in "Interface Culture" from the University of Arts and Industrial Design Linz (Austria) and a Master in "Lens-Based Media" from Piet Zwart Institute (Rotterdam, The Netherlands). His interactive experiences investigate the influence that different spatial configurations have in the participants' behavior. In his line of work in the field of artistic photography and video, he often explores social conventions of behavior in contrast with individuality.
