I wasn't really interested by the section about signage but the sections about just about everything else was interesting. I didn't really know the differences and limitations of different types of screens, the only thing that I knew was that if you play games on plasmas that they tend to burn the image into the screen. The sizing formats between LED and LCD I was intrigued by what their initials actually stood for which made their differences in capabilities much more apparent. Immersive environments always fascinated me especially the interactive ones. I used to know the name of an artist that had come up with an interactive program that projects images onto a surface and when a person interrupts the projection it interacts and things moves in accordance with them. I wish I remembered, I would post a link to it if I could.
Animated exteriors are extremely entertaining, I can't say that I've seen one in person but the idea fascinates me and to have a grid system of monitors that line up to make a significantly larger screen to work with.

The incorporation of video into architectural elements (interior and exterior) is becoming more and more wide spread - and is something worth checking out if you are interested in this. It is a place to show your work (and an environment with a growing need for more work). There is a large screen on the exterior of the Boston Exhibition and Convention Center (Summer Street, Boston) - they just had a call for art work (video/animations) to be shown there. The new GBH building in Brighton also has a large screen on its exterior - that you can see on the Mass Pike as you drive into town. I would check these out - as well as interactive exhibits in an art/gallery setting, and in a museum/exhibit settings (the Boston Museum of Science and the Peabody Essex Museum often have good examples).
