"Every Picture Ever" TV now a reality
This is awesome.. but.. for the sake of conversation
theres a bit of an issue with the fact that this is monochrome 8 x 8... mainly because if I see gravel, a constellation, hardcore sex scene, kthulu's end of the word schematics, Jesus' end of the world schematics, the palm of my hand, a plank of wood, a closeup of a feather... in monochrome 32x32 maybe.... but probably I still wouldn't be able to tell the difference. should have gone 60 fps, 256x 256 and with 265 levels of grey ( or 8 ) ... that way we would never ever finish .. ever.. ever.. a many splendid thing.
That said.. we will probably get to read "ass" and "poo" in pixel font... and it will all be worth it.
In any case, it is greatly fantastically magnificent/dumb thing you have done here.. and I salute you
They say that if you watch the Vinco PANOPTITRON after midnight.. You get to see your soulmate.
I hope Charlie senpai notices me
@shouldice: You're now on the front page of this here website.
It said HI for a fraction of a second. Also...
Waiting.
Shouldn't that be Watiting?
Damn, I was working on something similar, but this blows what I was doing out of the water in terms of presentation quality.
I advise listening to John Cage's Organ²/ASLSP: As SLow aS Possible while watching. Preferably the 639 year-long version currently being performed in Germany. They really suit each other.
Does anyone care to explain this idea more in depth? From what I get, since pixels are combing at an insane rate it will just randomly create images and eventually make every image imaginable. Is that right or is my feeble mind just not able to comprehend this idea!?

Yeah, it's just systematically going through every possible combination of 8*8 black and white pixels. One per 1/30th of a second.
8x8 is maybe on the low side to get any recognizable images...
Check this out - if 8x8 black & white pixels represents a 64-bit binary number...
That's 2^64 permutations of pixels...or 18 billion billion different combinations. If you were to store each one of these images as a binary, it would be something like...140 million terabytes of data. Unless I got my mental math completely wrong, I'm sure someone will correct me if I did!
I don't even want to attempt thinking about the math for how long these permutations would take to display at 30 frames per second, but its probably millions of years. If we did a 1920x1080 pixel display with RGB color, I think the sun would burn out AND we would have another Big Bang before we got through them all.
It's sort of like the Infinite Monkey Theorem.
