The Rubik's cube features four of Nam June Paik's pastel drawings of robots. The drawings of robots are filled with a myriad of colours, various emoticons, and scattered with either Chinese, Korean, Japanese or mixed scripts. Drawings and sketches were essential elements in Paik's artistic practice as they allowed him to easily visualise and reflect upon new concepts.

Dimension: 7x7x7cm
