Engineer Ben Holmen has spent six years crafting “the world's most impractical 1000-pixel display.” This large and purposely inefficient device, which displays images by rotating an array of stained wood blocks, is now open to public usage via a web app. Holmen has dubbed this interactive 40 x 25 pixel grid the Kilopixel.
In Holmen's blog post, we read that the project involved “a web app, a physical controller, a custom CNC build, generated gcode, tons of fabrication, 3d modeling, 3d printing, material sourcing.” Holmen is happy to recall that it's his most ambitious project yet.
