LEAVE IT TO A CREW OF GEEKY SEATTLE ARTISTS to create a 26-foot-high, LED-lit, playable Rubik’s Cube. Groovik’s Cube, the brainchild of art collective GroovLabs, made its debut at Burning Man in 2009 to wild stoner acclaim. The aluminum-and-fabric installation has left the Nevada desert for a six-month stay at Pacific Science Center, where it’s suspended in air as the centerpiece of a new interactive exhibit. Up to three people can play at a time from three separate control stations—this has “Microsoft team-building exercise” written all over it.

It’s rather short-cited and not very well-informed of you to classify people who go to Burning Man as stoners. Most are not, and don’t appreciate the defamation. Educate yourself before distributing false information, please.
