I agree wholeheartedly, the only trick is getting those workers in a position where they can do such art projects (which are always massive money sinks in my experience)

Maybe something we can't even imagine at this point? Think about trying to explain animation to people in the late 19th century.

Actually that's a pretty fun topic in tech history. You could buy short animations cheaply then, as flipbooks, and there were fancier types: viewed through a spinning cylinder, or projected. There were even 3d animations. See samples on youtube.

Checking my memory just now I learned something interesting: the magic lantern was invented by Huygens in the 1600s, and he probably had a simple animation in mind -- he sketched a sequence of Death removing his own head.
