B&W Television

The idea here is not to see the TV itself, but instead see the light it casts on the room. I discovered that connecting a flicker LED in series with a white fading (so-called "breathing") LED produced a nice randomized TV-like glow. I sealed the red flickering LED in shrink wrap to keep it from appearing there was a kitchen fire.

Then I enclosed the TV in a wall that formed part of the living room to confine the light effect to that part of the house. The TV is perfectly paired with a rotating TV antenna.
