At Burning Man a few years ago they had a massive Rubik's cube installation. There were 3 control points spread around the cube, and the people at the control points had to collaborate to solve the puzzle. Very cool.

And it was solved: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GC13nB_P7A

Cute, but it has to be annoying to try to solve a Rubik's Cube without being able to flip it around. Also, not sure if it's due to the quality of the photos, but the colors seem a bit difficult to distinguish. But hey it's art, so who cares about any of that?
The video shows people turning the cube as a whole to see the other sides.
Build the cube from Cube instead.
