P-Cube is a temporary pavilion consisting of a 9 meters high, 9 meters wide cubic scaffolding structure designed by Spanish-Icelandic artist Marcos Zotes and his studio Unstable. The skin of the pavilion is entirely covered with a semi-transparent layer of fabric, providing a ghostly and ephemeral appearance during the daytime and becoming fully alive with geometric visuals during the nighttime. The project commissioned by the Polytechnic Museum in Moscow, Russia during May 2015 and music created by Pixelord.

Located at the center of VDNKh Park in Moscow, Russia, the pavilion has been designed in a way to provide a gate in each of its 4 sides, creating an entry to the site and a meeting point for passers by. Two sets of staircases provide vertical access to the public viewing platform located inside the cube at 6 meters high. The public viewing platform offers excellent views over the site and lets the audience be immersed in a physical-digital environment of light and shadows.

The digital component of P-Cube features a grid-like organism that slowly transforms the integrity of the cube through a series of constant morphological changes. The accompanying sound was specially composed for the project by Russian electronic musician Pixelord.
