I've been obsessed with these things for a while now. The guys that make them call them "minimalist adaptable interfaces".

Seems like they're mostly used for electronic music right now, but they can be adapted for video and 2d image processing as well. Here's a simple program of conway's game of life:

There's like 500 videos tagged monome on vimeo and even more on youtube, so if your interested, there's plenty of shit out there. Here's the official website.
