{"product_id":"clear-pixel-cube-head-acrylic-sculpture-162cm","title":"Clear Pixel Cube Head Acrylic Sculpture - 162cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA head built from many clear cubes stacked in a grid, like the pixels of a digital image rendered in three dimensions. Seen from a distance the cubes resolve into the outline of a human head and shoulders; close to, the image breaks up into separate blocks of acrylic and resin, a few of them carrying a pale speckled design inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Head Made of Clear Pixels\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe piece is about resolution: how few blocks it takes for the eye to see a face. The cubes are all one size and aligned to one grid, so the head is described only by which positions are filled and which are left empty, and the outline steps in and out as a screen image does. Leaving the cubes clear makes the head half there, a ghost of an image, and the speckled designs in some of them work like highlights in a picture. It changes completely as you move towards it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a piece for a gallery, an office reception, a tech company's lobby or a contemporary home with a double-height wall, placed where people approach it from some distance, since the image forms as you step back. A dark background suits it best: against black or deep grey the clear cubes and the head stand out sharply, while a white wall leaves the outline soft. Light it from the side to make the cube edges shine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGrid Size, Patterns and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGive it 3–4 weeks as a standard piece, or 5–6 weeks as a bespoke commission. The head can be built at another size, with a finer or coarser grid, and more or fewer of the cubes can carry the speckled design; a particular face can be made to a brief. A coarser grid makes the image more abstract and the cubes more of a feature. It travels upright in a crate built around its grid, and it is lifted from beneath, never by the cubes of the head. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA portrait made of pixels in clear cubes, it joins our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eacrylic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e and our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-modern-sculptures\"\u003econtemporary and modern sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e161.5cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e112cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e33cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClear Acrylic and Cast Resin Cubes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54209119256923,"sku":"C169","price":28756.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/C169.jpg?v=1792159865","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-pixel-cube-head-acrylic-sculpture-162cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
