@Cinemacabre Good to hear, and thanks!
@Cinemacabre How’s the weather looking over there?

@dwershler I can only imagine how eye-popping that would be in person.
alienatedSo: I teach this class on Minecraft and Modernity, and added a unit on panoramas and sensationalism in modern culture, with an excerpt of Vanessa Schwartz’s classic book SPECTACULAR REALITIES as secondary reading. As an exercise, I sent the students in groups to the Concordia visualization studio, which has an interactive LCD display wall measuring 9.2 m x 1.7 m (363.6" x 68.5") with an available resolution of 11,520 x 2,160 pixels.
It works pretty well.
@samstrzyga @Cinemacabre Oh, good to know! That’s really helpful. Thank you!
In which I muse about why monsters in Yeti/Sasquatch/Big Foot movies are so rarely clearly seen: https://davidannandale.com/2022/07/09/yeti-and-sasquatch-the-offscreen-monsters/
Short version? They seem to need a certain mystique, somehow integral to the “they might be real!!!” aspect. Otherwise they’re Wookies.

@Cinemacabre @samstrzyga My thoughts precisely. I may well be joining you there.
