The video is a recording of the live event known as the "Spectacle", celebrating Rice University's centennial. The event was a highly detailed light show in the main academic quad, with images mapped and projected onto the exact architectural features of the buildings. These images, along with the music and voice recordings, depict Rice's history by decades, 1912-2012. The Spectacle was created by Urban Screen for Rice University, using source materials and input from Rice University. Original resource is a MP4-2 video codec.
