This is the out take from Week 18 and will be used to replace the actual Week 20 photo that was half assed and taken at 7PM last Friday as an attempt to fulfill my documentation of my 22 weeks in The Cube.
Since Week 18 was a shoot week and I worked so much in those 4 days on the road that it actually felt like 14 days, I feel it is totally within my Cube Life rights to post this.
This was a moment of peace as we were shooting upstairs and every step I took in this old hotel sent a creak up the two floors to where the audio guy was. I had no choice but to sit. In a n authentic period piece vinyl chair.
The Cube is a 25-storey mixed-use development in the centre of Birmingham, England. Designed by Ken Shuttleworth of Make Architects, it contains 135 flats, 111,500 square feet (10,359 m2) of offices, shops, a hotel and a 'skyline' restaurant. It is the final phase of The Mailbox development.
The site is enclosed by The Mailbox complex, Commercial Street, Washington Wharf apartment complex and the Worcester & Birmingham Canal.
"This weighted companion cube will accompany you through the test chamber. Please take care of it."

"Cube houses (Dutch: Kubuswoningen) are a set of innovative houses built in Rotterdam and Helmond in the Netherlands, designed by architect Piet Blom and based on the concept of "living as an urban roof": high density housing with sufficient space on the ground level. Blom tilted the cube of a conventional house 45 degrees, and rested it upon a hexagon-shaped pylon. His design represents a village within a city, where each house represents a tree, and all the houses together, a forest.
The houses in Rotterdam were designed in 1977 in a plan of 55, of which 39 were built.
The houses in Rotterdam are located on Overblaak Street, right above the Blaak Subway Station. There are 38 small cubes and two so called 'super-cubes', all attached to each other.
As residents are disturbed so often by curious passers-by, one owner decided to open a "show cube", which is furnished as a normal house, and is making a living out of offering tours to visitors.
The walls and windows are angled at 54.7 degrees. The total area of the apartment is around 100 square meters, but around a quarter of the space is unusable because of the walls that are under the angled ceilings.
In 2006, a museum of chess pieces was opened under the houses.
In 2009, the larger cubes were converted by Personal Architecture into a hostel run by Dutch hostel chain Stayokay."

The Infinity Cube was a mid-seventies tabletop art object and conversation piece: a ring of Christmas tree lights on a motorized base, hidden inside a semi-silvered black cube. Turn it on, and you saw dancing colored lights stretching to infinity. I had an Infinity Cube on my bedside table growing up, and this is a time exposure I took of it, probably with my Voigtlander Vito IIa. Just found the old Kodacolor negative and scanned it right up.
Paper : 7.5 cm
Modules: 6 face modules, 8 vertex modules
Model: Kunihiko Kasahara

There are several edge, face and vertex modules in that part of the book which may be combined to a bunch of cubes.
This one has a almost Rubic cube's like shape.
Easy fold, I used glue for stability.
3D printed sugar cube styles made by the Sugar Lab team at 3D Systems. Through sculptural, ornate cake toppers to customized sugar cubes, this next-generation of 3D food printers is just the start of things to come.
A very simple wood sculpture of 3 squares on 3 axis to form the basics of a cube. Its nice on its corners like this, or just laying flat on a table.
Locality: Morococha Mine, Department Junin, Peru
Size: Field of view is 1.3 inches.
Description: Octahedral crystals have corners truncated by cubes.
Oui, un jour j'en ai eu marre des boules...
et c'est bien connu quand on a les boules, on fait des cubes
Fractal Flower Cube 6 units
Meenakshi Mukerji's recent works with fractals prompted me to try something of my own, but I was more in a modular mood, so it ended up a cube. It is only two levels here (any more than that would have taken forever) but I might try a single one with more levels later.
I don't know a great deal about fractals, so bear with me on my first attempt.
Designed by me.
Folded out of 10" kami.
In 1983 I won the Swedish Young Inventor's competition FinnUpp 83 with the entry of making the design of a cube with five squares on each side instead of the three found in the Rubik's Cube.
The animation I created in 3D Studio and the models in AutoCAD R13 around 1995-96.
The music is excerpts from the Swedish group Twice A Man.
My new cube gift box, a very easy and quick to fold origami model. From 2 squares.
Annette Bussmann suggested the name "Flag Box", as you can make bicolor or tricolor banded flags with it.
