    This is pretty cool, although I think calling it a “display” is stretching the definition a bit. It can display patterns and some basic shapes (I saw a heart in there somewhere) but somehow I get the feeling this isn’t the kind of technology you end up having in the living room. Still very, very cool to watch. A little creative lighting could even give it color.

    More info about the installation at the UdK-Berlin site (it was created by one Daniel Shulz for Berlin’s DMY Design Festival). He ought to collaborate with Obscura Digital.
