Video of a large (420mm or 16.5 inches) black disc covered in concentric rings of pixels that are displaying an animation of a smoothly spinning cube wireframe which slowly changes colors. The cube edges are "smoky" driving a fluid sim. Every 15 seconds the polyhedron changes shape, from a cube to a dodecahedron to an icosahedron to a stellated dodecahedron.

Video of a black disc with hundreds of colorful lights, all pulsing to the beat of the music (Lateralus by Tool). The lights are arranged in a Fibonacci / Fermat's spiral pattern, like the seeds in the head of a sunflower. The lights change colors, cycling between different color palettes every few seconds.

Video of two black circles. Each has hundreds of colorful lights behind a layer of matte black translucent acrylic. The lights are arranged in a Fibonacci / Fermat spiral pattern, like the head of a sunflower. The lights in the center are close together, then the lights gradually decrease in density towards the outer edge.
Video of a 14500 size lithium battery being inserted into a black battery holder. A wire is coming out of one side of the battery holder, and a magnetic wire end is attached to the other side. Then a USB-C plug is inserted into the socket on a small thin black disc, which immediately lights up with a colorful animation. The animation changes to a colorful spinning cube. When touch pads on the back of the disc are touched, a colorful wave of light emits from the touched point. When two are touched at the same time, the waves merge and their colors are added together, saturating towards white.
Video of a small black PCB disk with 128 tiny RGB LEDs displaying a color-changing, spinning cube animation.

Video of two black circles. Each has hundreds of colorful lights behind a layer of matte black translucent acrylic. The lights are arranged in a Fibonacci / Fermat spiral pattern, like the head of a sunflower. The lights in the center are close together, then the lights gradually decrease in density towards the outer edge. When a light is not lit, it appears completely black. The lights display a variety of different smooth and colorful animations. Both circles show the exact same animations at the exact same time.

Video of a large matte black circle with 512 colorful lights shining through. The lights smoothly and slowly change colors, giving the impression of a slowly changing pattern rotating around the center.
Video of a half Yin and Yang shaped piece of matte black acrylic with colorful LEDs behind and shining through. The LEDs are in a Fibonacci / Fermat spiral pattern, and are slowly and smoothly change colors. The edges of the acrylic are jagged, following the Voronoi grid.

Video of a small glowing disc the size of a small coin smoothly changing colors, animated in colorful pulsing, swirling patterns.
Video of two small glowing discs being held, each by one hand. The discs are the size of small coins. They smoothly change colors, animated in colorful pulsing, swirling patterns.
Video that shows a render of the spherical Earth rotating, then morphing into an icosahedron, then unwrapping so the faces are flat, all while the surface texture is still rotating. It then shows a stop-motion animation of a puzzle of the Earth being assembled. The puzzle pieces are irregularly shaped, with some being shaped like animals (a whale, octopus, etc). The puzzle has no edge pieces, and no pre-defined shape. Pieces can be removed from one side and placed on the other. It then shows the Earth as a rotating icosahedron with the puzzle piece shapes overlain, then three different icosahedra unwrapping into different flat shapes.

Video of a small credit card sized black printed circuit board covered in colorful LEDs in a Fibonacci / Fermat spiral layout, like the lead of a sunflower. Two colorful dots can be seen orbiting the center of the card until a finger is placed on one of six touch pads around the perimeter. Then the dots are attracted to the touched point. A finger then double-taps on one of the pads and a new colorful pattern is shown. This repeats every few seconds.
