A Slow Motion Display
Franz Ferdinand Richter · 2023
The Slow Motion Display, developed during a master's thesis, explores the concept of slowing down screen representations through design, challenging prevailing screen aesthetics. It employs conductive, thermochromic yarn on an unprimed canvas in a 16x16 pixel matrix, allowing for color changes when a low 5V voltage is applied. The display's intentionally slow operation, taking around 20 seconds per pixel change, transforms two-dimensional pixels into three-dimensional voxels, highlighting the underlying technology with over 750 cables.
