Ideas for the Shrine

When I first attended the Burningman Art Festival in Nevada, I stumbled across one of the strangest installations ever, the solid sculpture zoetrope. Just watch this video and you'll see what I mean.






Later on, in Tokyo, I took my animation students to the Studio Ghibli Museum. They had the same thing going on and it blew me away. I thought to myself, now here is a "shrine" to the art of animation.

For me, I'd like to emulate, if not top, something like this at the PlatteForum. I hear that we will have to enjoy the public, who will visit us often. I envision the shrine as a distraction from our real "work", not a barrier, but a pleasant, entertaining distraction.
