A bunch of VFD displays, with camera trained on them, focus controlled (and choreographier) by motors, with the close-ups displayed around the on large screens around the VDF centerpieces. The "random" texts and symbol fading in and out of view offer room for interpretation, turning this into true art. A cheaper version could use pre-recorded macro shots, with the VFDs synchronized to the video display. So the cameras could be fake. The whole installation could get as large as _De Nachtwacht_ from that other Netherlands artist, playing out the difference in sizes between the immensely magnified close-up shots on the displays and the (comparatively) tiny VFDs. Sad that VFDs have limited lifespans and are no longer easily replaceable.

@@evoelias6035 Sometimes they go at great lengths to make sure displays match, especially when different suppliers are involved. I had a 1998 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP (Supercharged 3.8L), and much like Audi of the same era, all of the dashboard lights are red. All of the digital displays were backlit reverse LCD (and so they were red segments) except the HVAC, which was clearly a standard bluish-green VFD. This was because 1998 was the first year of the new design, and only the GTP had digital HVAC, so they must have not specified correctly. However, the 1999 GTP had a matching red HVAC display. I found one in a junkyard, but the buttons were worn, so I disassembled it to use my buttons and was shocked to find a red filter over the same VFD! I was sure it was an LCD lol. I later learned about the filter and how common it was used, like in mirrors with a compass and/or outside temperature display in different cars... All the Gentex mirrors use a greenish blue VFD and Audi/BMW put a red filter and certain other cars made them yellow (I can't remember who... Cadillac?).

@tissuepaper9962

They seem to be triodes in a bit of a nonstandard configuration. Instead of varying the grid voltage to control the transconductance, they're varying the plate voltage. Essentially they're using the filament and the grid of a triode as an electron gun, and each of the fluorescent segments is turned on by applying a high positive voltage to attract those electrons. Pretty cool, I see now how closely related VFDs are to CRT displays.

RGB trios pitch is 0.56mm. By controlling light emitting time per dot. halftone images can be generated on the display- K.

DSP is nearly magic, but it will never, ever hold a candle to a device that can just do the thing.

I agree LCDs can't replace their look but I actually think with some adjustments OLEDs could look a lot like them. In 1999, Pioneer began releasing car stereos with displays known as OEL, which were basically early OLED displays, and let me tell you, many of them looked amazing. It's about implementation. OLEDs that don't look like how VFDs are don't have the glass-like covers VFDs often use in multiple layers and may not even have the same neutral density filters. Improvements in the outer design of OLEDs I think could potentially improve their looks a lot more

Truly next-level stuff. Beautiful to watch and listen to.

VFDs are a work of art - as are your videos! Really enjoyed all the macro shots. Didn't know that the different colors are mostly achieved with color filters.

Such a great video! Very pleasurable to watch as well as informative

Great video. Everything about it is fantastic, in fact, but I am absolutely loving those close-up shots of the displays.

this is the first video of yours I've seen, and I absolutely love the atmosphere you create. I never realized the beauty of VFDs until now and I thank you for giving me a newfound appreciation for them.
