Those losers. Ha!

*goes back to playing Oblivion*

Good god... I'de go completely insane after the 5th cube much less 4,050 of those things...

Invader did this as well with album covers. not nearly as impressive as this

and i'm sure he and these people took the stickers off

Actually, I would bet they didn't reapply any of the stickers.

Anyone who really enjoys rubik's cubes can solve a cube much faster than removing and reapplying the stickers.

Actually... when you go check out most stores, the cubes come pre-solved in packages, it's up to you to mix them.

So they probably just bought thousands of cubes, took them out and stacked them without solving, stickers, watever.
(yes, I worked at toys r us one christmas)

The rent's too high and the air's unclean, the beaches are dirty and the people are mean. And the women are big and the men are dumb and the children are loopy coz they live in a slum. In Toronto. And now their art students cheat. This makes me so ANGRY in a not-gonna-remember-in-a-minute kinda way.

@Nate Winchester: The Cubes aren't solved in the vid, just jumbled in the way that was required for the whole thing.

Doctor is right, and they only had to do 1 side, which is easy.

would make more sense to take the cubes apart and glue sides down on a flat surface (at least for most of it). You'd save a ton of money by buying less cubes.

no doubt after completing their master pieace the artits proably loathe ever touching another rubik cube ever again not to mention the bundle spent to get the ones to make that piece plus the artists are proably now wondeirng if they have suffered enough for their art now after that work

There are a few people who can solve rubik's cubes in under 30 seconds. Even giving them two minutes, it wouldn't be impossible, or even improbable.

@nicnac:
the seperate cubes that make up a rubix cube are not flat on the inside, they have sockets and joints, so it would not be an easy task to get them on a flat surface.

Am I the only one who popped the pieces out instead of moving the stickers?

Granted, over time this left you with a jiggly cube...

my friend robbie mckinnon made that not that fat bastard, that guy doesnt deserve any of the money hes a thief

My sisters boyfriend happended to be the original artist who started this whole craze of fashioning rubiks cubes into pixealated artwork and came up with the whole idea. He is being ripped off by his old business partner who stole his ideas and set a "world record". It is totally legit to solve all these cubes as he has been doing it for a few years. He is quite pissed off about being ripped off considering this piece of art was sold for 1 mil apparently.

I know those students they solved one side of each cube to match the oregenal pixlated picture. It's easier and faster for them. These cubes has no stickers but plastic . They finish one part of the picture at a time

There was no cheating. My daughter was one of the cubers who worked on this. She can solve a 3x3 cube on average in less than 15 seconds. The picture was divided into many panels and the each cuber did a panel at a time. They used brand new but cheap plastic cubes and twisted the cubes so that one side matched the 3x3 section of the panel. It would take from 0 to 5 seconds to twist each cube to the proper orientation of colours. It took 2 months because of a shortage of cubes. It was a nice summer job. She was paid to practice the cube for tournaments.
