Three identical tables uniquely composed of small 10mm magnetic cubes. The tables are on a white background, arranged diagonally, one in front of the other on a white background. Its medium is nickel-plated neodymium voxel, a type of magnet. The magnetic cubes put together make a surface that’s full of edges and small corners. It creates a pixelated 8-bit look assembled as a whole. The table has a flat top with legs waving towards the center. It has a base connecting all four. Details include, a duck in the center of the base, clouds in the center of the edge of the table, and flowers surrounding the corners of the legs and base, all assembled using the same material - all details in the pixelated look.

Three identical tables uniquely composed of small 5mm magnetic cubes. The tables are on a white background, arranged diagonally, one in front of the other on a white background. Its medium is a type of magnet, a nickel-plated neodymium voxel in a 5mm measurement. The magnetic cubes put together make a surface that’s full of edges and small corners. The tables are formed using the same process as the “Kilovoxel Table”; but, instead of 10mm cubes, 5mm cubes are used creating a slightly more resolved but still pixaleted look. The table has a flat top with legs waving towards the center. It has a base connecting all four. Details include, a duck in the center of the base, clouds in the center of the edge of the table, and flowers surrounding the corners of the legs and base, all assembled using the same material - all details in the pixelated look.

Three identical tables uniquely composed of small 3mm magnetic cubes. The tables are on a white background, arranged diagonally, one in front of the other on a white background. Its medium is a magnet, a nickel-plated neodymium voxel in a 3mm measurement. The magnetic cubes put together make a surface that’s full of edges and small corners. The tables are formed by a similar iteration as the “Kilovoxel Table” and “Megavoxel Table”; but, instead of 10mm cubes and 5mm cubes, 3mm cubes are used creating the most resolved pixaleted look among three. The table has a flat top with legs waving towards the center. It has a base connecting all four. Details include, a duck in the center of the base, clouds in the center of the edge of the table, and flowers surrounding the corners of the legs and base, all assembled using the same material - all details in the pixelated look.

Stylized infographic of a timeline on a large black wall. The wall is illuminated by lights out of the frame. The bottom of the black wall is illuminated by base lights which also lights up the wooden floors. On the x-axis, a band illustrated by fine forward-slanting diagonal lines is labeled “INDUSTRIAL.” About 3/4 into the frame, the band crisscross with another band made up of opposite slanting lines labeled “DIGITAL.” On the section where these bands meet, a vertical gradient band highlights the area. Six lines with arrows on each end are on top of these bands. The lines are labeled '60 YEARS', '55 YEARS', '50 YEARS', '40 YEARS', '30 YEARS', and '27 YEARS'. Different sized blocks are illustrated on the '50 YEARS' label. The arrangement of the blocks appears like an abstract city skyline. Various lines are on the graph with different labeled points. Most appear very small on the image and are not decipherable based on the image available alone. One line appears bolder than the others and it is sloping upwards from the start of the graph on the left moving to the right. Various types of lines are present - dotted, concave up and down, spiral, segments, oscillating, and waves are some of the types that appear.
