You Found Me!

Welcome to the "Where's My Cube" Project!

The Cube has been said to be the basis and starting block of sculpture.
This cube represents one of hundreds.  As an interactive tactile and virtual based project, its goal is to promote human connectivity through public sculpture.
  1. Notice your cube has a number?
  2. Please feel liberated to take this cube with you, consider its purpose and what it means to you, then relocate it in any new location you feel appropriate.
  3. To participate in this interactive project, please include in your post below: the corresponding cube’s number, its new location, and any other feeling or comments.  
  4. Keep a lookout for other cubes and check the blog for new cube locations!

    I found Cube #2 at the Balch bus stop on Thurston. When I first saw it I thought it was a treasure chest, which it is in some sense :) I think this project is really cool and I can't wait to see where all the cubes end up. I am a leaving this "warm aroma of varnish" in RPCC Computer lab in front of one of the computer desks.

    I found cube #2 over at the RPCC Computer Lab right by one of the computers, it stayed overnight at my room and then I took it for a run with me! On the run I left him over with the statue of Ezra Cornell in the Arts Quad!

    My boss found cube #12 in the Green Room at the Schwartz. He was like "What the hell is this? Did someone just randomly left this there?" and I replied, "This is Cornell, so probably!" I think it's really cool to think about the other people who have had this cube in their hands and their stories, where they found it, how, etc. It makes me feel part of something bigger. I don't know where I'm going to put it next but I have a pretty good idea. I might be sending it home with my sister so it can enjoy some Caribbean love. Arrivederci :P

    Cube 37: I found this cube on walkway leading up to Rand Hall. Right now it is on my desk, on the 2nd floor of Rand Hall BUT now that I look more closely at it, it's quite beautiful. I might bring it back home with me to Lansing West Apartments. We'll see how full my backpack is by the end of the night. Thanks.

    Good Evening,
    I am very happy to say that CUBE #34 was given to me tonight while I attended a lecture at the Johnson Art Museum at Cornell University. I plan to keep it on my dresser as a memory of a lovely evening and a gracious gentleman from the state of Washington who gave it to me. It now "resides" in Horseheads, NY.

    I found cube #44 all by its lonesome in a corner of the Johnson Museum lobby. I took it to New York City with me this weekend and left it on a shelf between two Portuguese/Brazilian encyclopedias in the Deborah, Jonathan F. P., Samuel Priest, and Adam Raphael Rose Main Reading Room of the New York Public Library. I hope its journey continues.

    I received Cube #34 from “trimom” who posted a comment on 4 April 2011. It has left Horseheads NY and has been residing happily in sunny Sydney Australia for several weeks. It is now time for it to continue its global adventure. I shall pass it to a dear friend who is travelling overseas. Watch this space for its next location.

    What a wonderful project!

    Last month, Sabrina called out to me as I walked past The Cooper Union (3rd Avenue & Astor Place), NYC.

    She was cold.

    I took her to Buenos Aires, Argentina.

    It's summer there!

      I see you have found that I've given names to some cubes rather than numbers. I am continuing to produce cubes at a rate of about 10 cubes per month, as I am very busy with other classes this semester, but for those who are local, keep your eyes peeled at bus stops around Ithaca NY, as they will be the locations for the next batch!

    Found Cube# 358 on Cornell Street just up from the highway 366 junction... it was sitting happily on a fire hydrant and I happened to glance down and see it staring back at me :). I have to say that it came to me at a very appropriate time and had a very appropriate message for me at that exact moment.

    For 3 weeks it sat on a shrine I have set up in my house alongside Buddha and some crystals and singing bowls.

    I am now ready to pass it on again; it will be somewhere along the 6 mile creek wildflower trail.

    Thank you for implementing this truly moving project!
