At the very beginning, a small white pixel is visible on a black background. It begins to move orthogonally, describing a square on the screen. As the right angles increase in number, they expand into the third dimension and begin to form cubes. The cubes then join in chains apparently searching without pause for a way out of a larger invisible cube which defines the borders of their digital universe. While this is happening, the pulses of Chris Janka´s technoid soundtrack influence the "snake´s" direction. As is the case with many computer games, cubica permits its player to choose the point-of-view, such as from the outside then switching suddenly from a subjective point-of-view at the head of one of the many "snakes," racing through a world of cubes with neither horizon nor other points of reference. This work, based on the ideal form of a square or cube, provides a fascinating scene for everyone who can appreciate formal precision and perfection. - (Norbert Pfaffenbichler)
