Retina MacBook screen break in progress as liquid crystals are released. Filmed in slo-mo with macro lens.

incredible vid but the music is the totally wrong mood

Well, feel free to replace it with the interstellar soundtrack if you want

im more of a 1m23s into Teebs - Verbena Tea type of guy

Annihilation vibes

Yes, love that movie

I wonder if @XorDev might have some tricks up his sleeve to reproduce this kind of effect. It's mesmerizing, which is right up his alley.

That would be a wicked cool screensava bro

Go for it!

a macbook that can be useful for creating art ? i never thought that was possible.

Screen break ironically makes a great screen saver.

Wow that's mesmerizing

Melt

Awwe if only that sound could be recorded

so that’s how they made the iPhone XS wallpapers

Kinda pretty.

Kinda? You’re hard to impress

Well as a repair tech I can admire it but I know I still have to fix it lol.

What is the most extremest resolution available

Haha. Captured this with my iPhone. Very hard to focus cuz a broken screen, although thin, actually has many layers and a camera struggles to figure out which one to focus on.

It's crossing over to the other side, so long old friend

Dope

This might be the most beautiful thing I have ever seen and it’s an accident.

Mmmm

fascinating process looking forward to more of your insights

this could be intro of Netflix

Title "One Last Pixel Sort".

This is beautiful I wonder how this process could be augmented by deliberate breaks & electric current applied in specific areas inside the display

Now. Can anybody tell me what the fuck a Liquid Crystal is? Why have I heard that all my life but have never bothered to dissect what that means or what a liquid crystal even is? As far as I'm aware, crystals be rocks. Rocks is hard. Not wet. Liquids is wet. Wtf goin on.

i wanna make a screen saver that looks like this

saw these same visuals at a ty segall concert up in big sur

this is beautiful. art.

Delightful

what am i even watching. looks really sci fi

Satisfying

I thought it was some kind of vibrant fungus in a cave.

The beauty of someone’s pain.

🏆

That's very interesting. @XorDev , would you be able to—and would you even want to—simulate that liquid crystal effect on a damaged monitor?

Did you try turning it off and turning it back on again?

Isn't that tune the one Cellos used to sing? "Do not laugh when the hearse goes by For you may be the next one to die..."

I would be screaming the entire time
