The article discusses the creation of an installation called "Flip Fluid on Flip Dots" for EMF2026, which combines fluid simulations with an electromechanical flipdot display to create a unique visual and auditory experience. The author, who has been working on fluid simulations for years, wanted to add sound effects to their simulations and discovered that flipdot displays could produce the desired noise. However, due to the high cost and exclusivity of flipdot displays, the author had to rely on a coincidence - having previously worked with a company that owned a flipdot display - to gain access to the technology and bring their idea to life.
