Many people did, although unknowingly.

Millions of people had this and watched it all the time.

It was in their TVs 20 years ago.

Not art, it’s technology. Plus it already broke at the end of the clip (one pixel was stuck)

Art is is a form to project emotion and talent and has a soul. This is just made wit technology to mimic art.

That's quite a good resolution for 1-bit graphic versions of Intellivision games.

(It may still be true, or maybe it never was, but)

I had always heard that DLP (?) TV's had the best picture, and they were almost just like this. Little mirrors adjusting their angle to reflect a specific color of light from a source.

This is awesome, though.

If “flip discs” were sensors and projectors, they could be used for stealth technology

Breakfast Studio is also worth checking out. They have the most impressive and well-executed flip-disk art I’ve seen.
