Checked out the digital art wall at the Denver airport and the file sizes blew my mind
I was stuck with a long layover last week and found this huge digital art wall near gate B50. It's like a giant screen showing these moving paintings. I got talking to the guy who helps run it, and he said each piece is a 4K video file that's over 50GB. He said they have to use a special server just to play them without lag. I mean, I work on a tablet, so seeing art that big and that detailed was wild. Makes you think about how we share our own work online, right? What's the biggest file you've ever had to send for a project?

My 8GB PSD file crashed three computers.

Actually, 50GB for a 4K video file is pretty normal, not that crazy. That's about right for a long, high-bitrate master file. The real trick is the server setup to stream it to a giant screen without a hitch. Cool find though.
