01 / The project
A living painting,
computed in real time.
LEDS-GO 8 is a handheld data sculpture: sixty-four pixels generated continuously by code, movement, and the identity of the object.
Each edition keeps a permanent seed, so its palette, tempo, and behaviour remain its own.
001Unique ID → deterministic seed → distinct visual behaviour128
02 / Algorithms
Eight real-time systems, calculated directly on the object.
Each edition applies its own seed. Tilt, movement, and shaking reshape what appears.

Know your
object.
Connect over USB or Bluetooth to read the object's edition index, palette bias, case color, hardware, and current state.
The collector panel is read-only and does not change the device.
