Zoom in on the second photo and see the relays flipping, really cool. They don’t describe how they made these decorative relays. Does anyone have any details?

Zoom in on the second photo and see the relays flipping, really cool. They don’t describe how they made these decorative relays. Does anyone have any details? [edit] I wanted to emphasize that this goes beyond the expected “sew prefabricated components to cloth” and instead is pretty much all embroidery (maybe crochet also.) That is several kinds of awesome.

This link: http://www.ireneposch.net/1-bit-textile/ http://www.ireneposch.net/1-bit-textile/ shows a single bead being flipped, without it also controlling a switch (to become a relay).

The action of the relays somewhat reminds me of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flip-disc_display https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flip-disc_display
