Field of study: |
Cubing Across Cultures: Documenting the Rubik's Resurgence |
What I'll be doing: |
I plan to investigate the international subculture of speedcubing—the sport of competitive speed Rubik's-Cube solving. As I immerse myself in well-established and incipient speedcubing communities in Europe and Asia, I will capture footage for a documentary film. The film will feature diverse speedcubers and competitions, with a focus on the psychological interplay between cubers' individual identities and the larger subculture. |
