[BREAKFAST](https://breakfastny.com/), a design and engineering studio out of Brooklyn, recently unveiled something that they call Brixels. 

A Brixel is a variable-sized brick that is controlled by software and can act as a pixel in artwork, building facades, and other kinds of installations. 

Below is a video of their first installation, called [Brixel Mirror](https://breakfastny.com/brixel-mirror). It is a 19 foot wide by 6 foot tall installation compromised of 540 Brixels. If you can’t see it below, [click here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=83&v=Z-5cVpWhp30).

While extremely cool, you may be wondering how applicable this might be to real world uses. But [kinetic architecture](https://www.dezeen.com/2017/05/02/apple-dubai-mall-foster-partners-architecture-carbon-fibre-shop-united-arab-emirates/) isn’t a foreign concept and I am sure we’ll be seeing more of it.
