Enormous Fluid Simulation On Flip Dots Is Also Enormous Amount Of Work

Flip dot displays are cool, and more people realize that after [mitxela]’s fluid simulation on flip dots installation was on display at EMF 2026. As glorious as the result is, it was also an …

FLIP Fluid on Flip Dots Turns a Simple Pun Into Months of Hard Labor

Mitxela wanted noise. Years of fluid simulations on LEDs had given him mercury-like sloshing on screens and a tiny wearable pendant, yet every version stayed silent. Flip-dot panels solve that problem by themselves. Each pixel is a physical disk with magnets that slaps from black to yellow and back, and a few thousand of those [...]
