This piece
uses a 2 line by 20 character VFD (vacuum fluorescent
display)
like those seen above cash registers. I programmed this
display
using a Basic Stamp microcontroller
using randomizing
code to
create groupings of numbers that slowly fill the screen
then disappear all at once.

This is a
close up of the normal display.
When the red "?" button
on the base is pressed, the display shows
the title. This makes
this work the first self titling artwork!
This piece is available for $1450.00

DISPLAY TECHNOLOGY
This piece uses a
relatively recent display that was manufactured in April 1995. It is
constructed of glass under vacuum. The pixels are electro
luminescent and are activated by a high voltage that is produced by
circuits in the back.
Here is a close-up of
the glass that shows the pixels of phosphor that light to form characters:
