Did you use 256 motors to individually control each rod?

[gdrakebrockman]

Yes, there are 256 separate servo motors in this artwork, each one independently moving a rod back and forth.

Amazing work. What electronic component is used to push each block up?

[gdrakebrockman]

I use custom made 3.5 turn RC Sail Winch Servos with a custom lasercut aluminium and steel slider setup to get the 400mm of linear movement with 128 increment resolution on each rod.
