Lots and Lots of switches

I was flipping through some records at the local shop and happened to see the Super_Collider's EP Message Coming. On the cover was this huge box with a crap load of switches ( 400 to be exact ). What are they for I wondered. Well as it turns out they trigger the light box matrix in order to display messages. The device was created by Andy Spradbery and on the cover it is actually doctored to have the messages in red. The construction deserves a shoutout, all the switches are perfectly strait and the box is flawless. Maybe its Computer generated, but most likely it is real. I ended up buying the record just so I can take a picture and do this post for everyone, I hope this was worth the $10. P.S. To hear what Super_Collider sounds like check out the below image link.

    That thing would make a killer step sequencer. Or perhaps the ultimate circuit-bent SK-1?
