That was, to a degree, actually the idea - large screens in a convention area as
decoration / space dividers.
The huge number of holes and the large size made finding a faster way to
substantially achieve the same effect really critical.

There are some neat things one can do with dots / perforations, including
optical illusions such as animation from still images, etc.

Photographs work well if the hole resolution is high enough, and there are ways
to play with the "image processing" - applying functions to the rgb or gray
values before calculating the hole size.

I even managed to create holes using fonts, so for instance, a person's photo
could be 'rendered' using their monogram ...
