1000 holes in a disk

1000 holes in a disk , 1000 holes in a disk, ... paint one now .. spin them around ... 1000 holes in a disk. Either the holes have to get smaller or the disk larger and you have to climb a ladder to watch. The holes are in a spiral and do not overlap. I have seen a photograph of a 6 foot disk where they cut a hole in the floor so the viewer would be at eye level. I cann't remember the number of holes in that disk. If the holes get smaller you still have a 1 inch HD 1000 X 1000 receiver? Another HD approach is to use 2 mirror drums. The Mihay Taub design had a 30 mirror drum (each mirror at a slightly increased angle) and a 2 sided mirror doubling the 30 lines to 60. Using a 3 sided 2nd drum you would triple lines to 90. There is concerns using a single drum and 1920 technology of having the mirrors flying off as drum spins faster to permit more mirrors to cross the viewer per second. It would seem that today you probably could use some plastic injection process for applying minature mirrors? Also I'm not sure if the number of mirrors approach infinity that you would have a mirrored sphere? This would seem to be true on the 2nd mirrored multiplying device? You could then use a laser as the light source. Can you imagine a rock concert with 20 foot disks broadcasting live images to the audience.
