Kilopixel creator kills livestream switch before woodblock display hits Crysis point

All good things must come to an end, and so too must the blocky glory of the Kilopixel. As the wood and robotic marvel crested the 200,000-pixel mark, its creator pulled the metaphorical plug.

According to its creator, Ben Holmen, there had been 421 submissions to be drawn and 206,204 pixels flipped. The machine had also drawn no representations of male genitalia ("not for lack of trying," Holmen noted.)

There are no plans for a follow-up machine. Holmen told us, "Building one of these was enough of an effort, this is a one of a kind device!" but it will lurk in the background of his webcam during meetings with a private URL so coworkers can play with it. We're confident that everything will be fine.
