We told you yesterday about a 1967 robotic video wall (well, sorta … it was photo slides, not videos).  Here’s another example of a big video wall doing the robotic three-dimensional thing Coca-Cola has unveiled in Times Square. This one is from 1990, at the Epcot (Disney) theme park in Orlando.

The “kinetic mosaic” was developed by another Czech, filmmaker Emil Radok, for an attraction built around energy.

Like Emil Radok's "Kinetic Mosaic" that was the Pre-Show to Universe of Energy at Epcot from 82 to 96.https://t.co/nozZYUeFJk
