A while back we linked a video which explored organic displays, screens composed by “smart”, independent and moving pixels.
The concept of “invisible” computers embedded in tiny units able to coordinate themselves for a bigger result is definitely fascinating. Today I saw this other inspiring project:

It is quite similar to Siftables but the dominos attracted me more because the possibility of being mixed with normal, not smart, blocks.
Kudos to Arduino for enabling this experimentation.
