Tesseract

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Nicky Alice

Home: California, United States

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.

Oscillara: Mirrors, Movement, and Light

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Twisty Maurice

Home: Oregon, United States

Oscillara turns plumbing scraps into a glowing playground of math, code, and light. Each 10-inch PVC tube is backed with a mirror and packed with addressable LEDs, creating the illusion of infinite depth inside a simple pipe. Clusters snap together in triangles and hexagons, forming larger sculptural lattices that seem to ripple and breathe. Powered by two Pixelblaze controllers and eight output expanders, Oscillara runs custom 3D patterns that transform geometry into motion, light into texture, and code into visual magic. It's part optics experiment, part programming challenge, part upcycled sculpture — a hands-on look at how discarded materials can reveal endless possibilities when combined with a little math, a little tech, and a lot of curiosity.
