Tesseract
Maker Faire Bay Area 2025
September 26th-28th
Tesseract is an interactive light installation that explores the enigmatic nature of the fourth dimension. While a tesseract—a 4D hypercube—can be described mathematically, it remains visually elusive. This piece offers a conceptual window into that abstraction through a precise arrangement of specialty mirrors and LEDs housed within a cube. The internal design creates a multidimensional light experience that invites viewers to step into the unknown. As they engage with the illusion, audiences are immersed in a visceral appreciation for higher dimensions, blurring the boundaries between science, art, and imagination.

"Look in a mirror, and one thing is certain: what we see is not who we are. When I gaze into my reflection, I see a canvas—a platform for creation that invites viewers to engage with the art and themselves.”
Born in Orange County, CA, Alice has been captivating audiences with his exploration of the intricate relationship between mirrors and self-perception since 2007. His work has been featured at renowned festivals such as Burning Man, Art Basel, LIB, and PDXWLF Reno WLF, where he shares his unique vision with the festival goers and communities intrigued by Physics, Mathematics, Science and Sci-Fi.
"Mirrors have always fascinated me," Alice shares. "My journey into Sacred Geometry, ignited by transformative medicine journeys and astral visions, unveiled a profound connection to the universe's language. I find solace in the challenge of translating the multidimensional aspects of my dreams into tangible forms through mirrors."
Drawing inspiration from the patterns of nature, the complexity of multidimensionality, and the wisdom of ancient geometry, Alice's current work is a mesmerizing interplay of mirrors and light. "My deep interest in consciousness and the imagery of my dreams drives me to create art, allowing me to witness both myself and my dreams in the waking world."
Through his creations, Alice invites viewers to embark on their own journeys of self-discovery, reflecting the beauty of the universe within.
