Workshop manufacture, transport and installation of a set structure made up of pixel-style cubes for an international summit on digital rights organised with the Ajuntament de Barcelona and Mobile World Capital. The unit integrates a screen aperture for audiovisual content and works as a stage backdrop and as the visual identity of the event. The documentation includes the build and check process in the workshop.

The challenge

The cube composition had to read as a regular grid from the floor, without the joints between modules giving away the breakdown, while also housing a screen and its cabling. The build took place in an institutional hall with limited access and no possibility of fixing to walls or floor.

Our solution

The set was broken down into cube modules with an internal structure and lacquered rigid panel cladding, made from the same jig so the grid comes out square with a constant joint. The build was rehearsed in the workshop, numbering every cube and every connection before packing. In the hall the modules were stacked on a braced, ballasted base, levelled with adjustable feet and tied to one another with concealed fittings. The screen aperture was allowed for with an access frame and an internal cable run, so the monitor sits flush with the plane of the set.
