Tesseract at Cyclops Cove Cyclops Cove · Subtronics

A 5×5×5 ft infinity mirror sculpture weighing 800 lbs, constructed from specialty mirrors with undisclosed inner workings that render a virtual fourth-dimensional cube in physical space. A Tesseract is to the cube what the cube is to the square — the outer form is familiar, what happens inside is not.

Precision mirrors and programmable LEDs create the illusion of endless recursive space. No two viewpoints are the same — the geometry shifts with every step, every angle, every moment of the night.

"Alice is always creating an invitation to transcendent discussion in one form or another. Bringing his beautiful 4 dimensional convex polytopes into my living room is like opening a real life wormhole where no one is left behind by equations. The art draws every visitor into a relationship with the world beyond whether they are professional mathematicians or 5 year olds transfixed in wonder."— Eric Weinstein, PhD Mathematical Physics · Joe Rogan Experience 6-time guest

Installation No. 02 HYPER TESSERACT · AR Optional
Hyper Tesseract MARS Conference MARS Conference · March 2026

The evolved sister to Tesseract — same 5×5×5 ft footprint and 800 lbs, fundamentally deeper dimensional proposition. A cube-within-a-cube-within-a-cube configuration built from 34 precisely arranged specialty mirrors with undisclosed inner workings and dense LED programming produces a layered illusion of infinite recursion. Designed as a statement installation for festivals and events seeking a visually striking, next-level centerpiece.

While Tesseract represents a fourth-dimensional form, Hyper Tesseract pushes further — suggesting a dimension that cannot be fully seen, only felt. As viewers move around the piece, the geometry appears to reconfigure itself, producing a hypnotic, kaleidoscopic effect that shifts with perspective and proximity.

"Tesseract Art Installation is the best representation of a 4th dimensional object I have ever seen. I use this as an example to teach my physics students."— Dr. Colton, PhD

AR headset AR Experience · Optional Add-On

The AR layer for Hyper Tesseract places the viewer inside the internal cube system as a multi-dimensional environment — revealing hidden symmetries and animated pathways that cannot be perceived physically. A hybrid physical-digital artwork that extends the installation beyond its material boundaries. Learn more ↓

Ascension by Alice Photo · Amy Sakurai

An 8-foot, 450 lb mirrored glass pyramid (95″ with riser) constructed from a precisely engineered two-way mirror system and a fully programmable LED panel that can be customized for any event or environment. Projected geometric imagery reflects infinitely within the pyramid — fractalizing light, color, and motion into ever-evolving symmetrical forms.

Where Tesseract pulls inward into infinite depth, Ascension directs upward — elevation, transformation, transcendence. A kaleidoscope you stand before and dissolve into. With the AR activation, participants step inside the pyramid itself through an interactive headset experience, navigating shifting geometric lightscapes in real time.

AR headset AR Experience · Optional Add-On

Through an interactive AR headset connected to a live 360° camera inside the pyramid, participants can virtually step inside Ascension — navigating shifting geometric lightscapes that respond in real time to perspective and movement. Each interaction generates a unique visual journey, dissolving the boundary between observer and artwork. Learn more ↓

The AR layer reveals hidden symmetries, animated pathways, and expanded spatial depth that cannot be perceived physically — creating a hybrid physical-digital artwork that extends each installation beyond its material boundaries.

Participation is guided and intuitive, requiring no prior technical knowledge. Each interaction generates a unique visual journey, dissolving the boundary between observer and artwork. The AR Experience is facilitated on-site by a dedicated crew member and is available as an add-on to any installation booking.

Installation No. 04 THE PORTAL
The Portal Burning Man 2019 The Portal · Burning Man 2019

A human-scale mirrored dodecahedron illuminated by 15,000 LEDs — large enough to walk inside, built to transform every viewer into a living part of an ever-shifting kaleidoscope. The installation responds to light, movement, wind, and sun, meaning no two moments inside are ever the same.

Inside, a human-sized mirrored shaft and infinity-mirrored star tetrahedron create a fully immersive experience where perception dissolves into reflection. A collaboration with large-scale installation artist Johnny Crash.

Originally brought to Burning Man through community-driven effort, The Portal became a beloved space of wonder and play. After being destroyed in the 2024 North Carolina flood, the project now has plans to return — a symbol of resilience and rebirth. More than an artwork, The Portal is a testament to the power of art to heal, connect, and remind us that even after loss, light finds its way back through reflection.
