Here's an unforeseen benefit of totalitarian states: you can use your absolute authority to require 100,000 people to form a giant human pixel-board:

100,000 North Korean residents trained for a year to perform at the Arirang Festival (The Mass Games). The state's immense, immaculately choreographed display of culture, one of the rare events to which foreigners are invited. The huge backdrops are made from human pixels, 1000's of performers holding sequences of coloured placards. Timed to coincide with South Korea's Olympic Ceremonies, this was communist precision at its best :D
