1. small enough to be rolled into katamari,
2. will soon be small enough to be rolled into katamari.

[2] We❤️Katamari, Namco, 2005

Over 300 neon gas diodes create the sound you hear. Pretty awesome for technology from 100 years ago.

Still a work-in-progress, but I wanted to post a video of it with the innards spread out across the workbench. : }

I call it the "Neon String Machine"

Someone made an endless simulation of Seinfeld, using AI generated dialogue in a lo-fi 3D world. It's kinda fascinating https://www.twitch.tv/watchmeforever
