From in a non-linear, non subjective point of view, it’s more like a big ball of wibbily wobbly timey wimey... design.

D-108+ is an interactive light board with 108 LEDs controlled by 108 toggles, allowing users to manually replicate the function of a computer GPU. Similar to a Lite-Brite, it transforms binary flips into visual output, slowing down an otherwise automated process to highlight the complexity and elegance of digital computation.
Bitlight is an RGB flashlight designed around a two-factor binary system. On the right side, eight toggles labeled "1" and eight labeled "0" control the output. Each flip changes the light function, introducing users to binary code through play and color exploration.
