“Original Caption:
New York — Audience members sit in grandstands known as the People’s Wall, in the IBM Pavilion at the New York City World’s Fair.
A mechanical system raised the 500 seat grandstands within the building so that the audience could watch a film on the inner workings
of computer logic. (1964)”

This reminds me of this 1969 short film called Necrology by Standish Lawder. It’s an endless array of peoples faces. Watch this clip and try to imagine the same thing without a cut for 12 minutes.
