Pete Fecteau is an interactive designer, who also loves illustration, painting and sculptures. Currently based in San Francisco, Fracteau was originally based in Brighton, Michigan where in 2010 he competed in a large art competition called ArtPrize. Having an interest in Rubik’s Cubes, he took the idea forward as part of a creative concept after a dream.
The result was a Dream Big, a mosaic installation made of 4,242 Rubik’s Cubes. Measuring 5.8m x 2.6m x 5.7cm, it weighed roughly 454kg. The construction process took a little over 40 hours involving 6 volunteers. The cubes were rented through the You Can Do The Cube organisation at a total cost of $8000. “Dream Big” placed in the top 50 out of 1,700+ entries.
