Discovery Wall – Screen made from thousands of iPod Nanos

Created by London-based creative agencies Squint/Opera and Hirsch&Mann, Discovery Wall is a wall-sized installation created from thousands of tiny screens and lenses that celebrates the work of the new $650m Belfer Research Building, part of Weill Cornell Medical College (WCMC) in Manhattan.

The installation (approx 4.6m x 2.7m) is comprised of 2800 mini screens set in a grid pattern behind a panel of thousands of circular acrylic discs. The dual layer construction makes it possible to read the wall from a distance as a single image, and then, up close, each screen has information about medical discoveries and other news from WCMC’s website.

Team’s initial design approach was to explore existing screen technologies and find the one most visually appealing. They immediately fell in love with the perfectly square iPod Nano V6. It has a higher pixel density than standard screens, and is a small enough form factor that it can act as both a single pixel in the display as well as a part of a high resolution image. Re-purposing such consumer-market part means that minimal technical information is available, and they weren’t buying them in vast quantities which meant that the manufacturer wasn’t interested in supporting their queries. Together with their partners at White Wing Logic they reverse engineered the Nano! Once this was achieved, the update speed, power, and software communication protocol had to be developed to satisfy the creative and technical vision of the installation.
