The co-ordinates will bring you to this place to experience this
great sculpture. E Tu Awakairangi Hutt Public Art Trust's first
commissioned public artwork is an interactive sculpture by
acclaimed kinetic sculptor Aiko Groot.
The towering CUBE4 sculpture stands nearly eight metres tall and
is located outside the Pelorus Trust Sportshouse at Hutt Park.
Its site makes it very accessible to park users as well as highly
visible to commuters on the busy Seaview roundabout.

Its four aluminium cubes can be separately moved by activating
the crank handles in the concrete plinth, dramatically changing its
form. It will respond differently to an individual turning just one
handle than to a ‘team’ of four people working all four
handles.
So - have a play once you have found the cache.
Hutt Park has been designated a recreational area since the 1850s;
a situation that is thought to be unique in New Zealand history.
Since then it has been used for horse and greyhound racing,
trotting, athletics, golf, hot air ballooning (1894), light
aircraft flights (1920), as well as soccer and indoor cricket. It
also houses the long-established Hutt Park Motor Camp and was the
base for large numbers of American marines in WWII.
Be warned that if you do this one during the working week it may
prove difficult as the offices look out onto the cache site. We
recommend you do after hours, or the weekend.
