The 9 inch screen shows an experiment that has been conducted in the museum recently:
Flocking souls is a text that has been converted into PNG image format, opened again in a txt editor. Then the binary code of the image was pasted as text into the effect tool of a video editing software. It appears as scroll text, but only as long as the computer -- an eight-core processor machine with more than 20 GHz and 8 Gigabyte RAM was able to render it. At a certain point it collapses all the thousands of remaining characters that have not been rendered yet merge onto one.
