  • The Cube

    “I saw The Cube a couple of times as a kid. But I really don’t remember when. For my entire life it seemed like a dream.

    The Cube is about the existential dilemma faced by a man who suddenly finds himself trapped inside an 8 foot by 8 foot cube.

    …On another layer, TV itself is The Cube.
    It presents us with attention deficit clich`s which offer no insights or answers – just entertainment.
    It teases us with familiarity and humor, but ultimately leaves us feeling empty and trapped.”.

    Everyone’s heard about the dotcom invasion, sky-high rents, loss of artists space, etc. but it’s also changed in ways that are harder to describe.
    It’s probably a direct result of these other changes, but good things are disappearing.
    For me, some of those good things are people.”.
