Smashed Screen Art

DIY LCD Bending Makes the Most of Broken Displays

LCD bending is a term applied to the process of pressing a broken LCD display when the device is powered on. YouTube user Kaptein KUK has created LCD bending art, which you can see in the video above, and the results are quite beautiful.

We've all experienced an unfortunate cracked LCD screen, whether it's from a wayward Wii remote or simply dropping a touchscreen phone. LCD bending is a way to turn this misfortune into an interesting piece of interactive art.
