Our core design concept revolves around the X Cube, envisioned as a multisensory musical installation. Inspired by the five senses, the X Cube aims to offer inclusive musical experiences for diverse individuals, including those with disabilities, while enhancing music festival interactions. Water emerged as a central element, enabling sensory engagement through different states: vapor evokes smell and taste, ice represents touch, ripples stimulate sight, and raindrops resonate with hearing. This creates a transformative space where the X Cube shifts its form based on sensory interplay, fostering deep musical immersion.

Structurally, the X Cube places the audience at its core, surrounded by performing bands. Expanding on the sensory theme, we explored cymatics to study how elements react to music, associating them with emotions: fire for excitement, thunder for surprise, sand for focus, ferrofluid for joy, and water for sadness. Music frequency, too, resonates with these elements, influencing the emotional response. 

Sustainably, the X Cube is modular, adapting to various terrains and expandable for larger venues. By intertwining art, technology, and inclusivity, the X Cube transcends traditional performances, pioneering a future where music is not just heard but felt, seen, and lived.
