How Do Flashlights Trick You Into Seeing Dragons? (What is a Pixel and How Do Screen Colors Work?)

Season 1 · Episode 4

Sunday, September 20, 2026 • Duration 13:03

Can a screen really make you see a fire-breathing dragon using nothing but millions of tiny glowing dots? (Spoiler alert: Glitches is currently trying to paint a computer monitor with a bucket of blue acrylic paint!)

In this fourth digital adventure, the Digital Storyteller and Glitches investigate a brilliant question about the mysterious pictures hiding inside our screens: How Do Flashlights Trick You Into Seeing Dragons?

In this episode, we explore:

The Pixel Puzzle: Discover what a pixel actually is and how millions of tiny pixels work together to create the pictures we see on phones, tablets, computers and TVs.
The Three Tiny Flashlights: Meet the three key colours hiding inside our screens: Red, Green and Blue. Find out how changing the brightness of these three colours can create millions of different colours, including yellow, purple and bright white.

The Baby Photo That Changed Everything: Travel back to 1957 and meet Russell Kirsch, whose team used an early digital scanner to turn a photograph of his baby son Walden into a grid of just 176 × 176 pixels.
Your Glitch Hunter Mission: Once the podcast has finished and the music fades, take a close look at a screen around you. Can you find evidence of the tiny coloured components working together to create the pictures you see every day?

Written, Recorded, Edited, and Produced by Sethi De Clercq
