Robbin transformed his digital art into a hanging sculpture pictured above. The sculpture reveals geometric shapes as well as the light reflecting of the sculpture gives even a great dimension and interest. If you stand under the sculpture your will see a kaleidoscopic effect from the shapes mimicking his digital design. As the light changes the design moves. To see how he recreated this movement you can try out Robbin’s, Android live-wallpaper hypercube from his website: HYPERCUBE https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kuba.livewall.cube4

It is interesting that in the beginning of the digital art revolution the only way to create shapes, color and form is through mathematical codes. The artists like Tony Robbin used codes instead of brushes and paint. As computers developed the digital art media tools. The pioneers in the digital art field were mathematicians and artists. Although Robbin's design might seem to be simple geometric forms the knowledge, skill and creativity is astonishing. Just imagine that each line, form or color is a line and series of numbers. Talent across the curriculum can join together to make remarkable art.
