FLIP Fluid is a large display that simulates moving liquid using thousands of electromechanical flip dots that physically switch between black and white. Because the pixels themselves move, the flowing image naturally produces a rippling mechanical sound instead of relying on added audio.

For EMF2026, eight panels were combined into a large installation with a joystick labeled “GRAVITY CONTROL” that changes the direction of gravity in the simulation. Creator mitxela says the large panel cost under £500, excluding donated parts and labor.
