CRASHCUBE: Collision 4903217
CRASHCUBE: Collision 4903217
A public crash record, folded into a small monument you assemble yourself.
This Crashcube is a flat-pack CrashCount Factory paper object made from collision 4903217: 5th Avenue at 8th Street, Brooklyn, June 1, 2026, 5:09 PM ET. The record says a 2016 Toyota Prius sedan driver making a left turn hit a 59-year-old woman walking. Police recorded driver inattention or distraction; she suffered shoulder and upper-arm injuries.
Inside the sleeve are six illustrated modules, instructions, and a hidden five-part poem. Fold them together and the record becomes a 3-inch cube: image outside, poem inside, evidence held in the hand.
The cube faces are loose ink-and-watercolor crash studies: pale crosswalk yellows, rain-soft street gray, blue-black vehicle arcs, and signal-red impact marks moving through the white paper.
Part of the solution: A portion of every sale supports safer streets in New York City.
