Excellent. I wonder how practical it would be to put each mirror on a servo so that you can change the image in real time?
You can get MEMS microscanners although they're probably a bit small - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microscanner but they can orientate a mirror on two axes. This one looks a pretty decent size - https://www.sercalo.com/products/mems-mirrors/mm160110-2
I'm wondering if a similar effect couldn't be done using a continuous surface and just silvering it. I saw something similar done with refraction but can't remember the URL now. 3D printers definitely have higher resolution than mirrors of this size.
If you're willing to spend a lot of money on silver then probably yes. After all the height differences are substantial and silver isn't cheap. 3D printers resolution sucks in comparison to the mirrors, I'm not sure what you mean by that.

Wild, the police thought that the LED display, that had already been up for 4 weeks, might be a bomb, and then they somehow spent a million dollars handling the 'threat'. Wilder still, Turner bought off the police after for 2 million dollars, and then censored the creators from releasing an episode critical of the Boston police response.
This is so adorable
I wonder if there's any types of filament that could be used to print a mirror-like surface good enough to work ?
The wedding is going to be over the top
In a less-artistic application, you could use this idea to print multiple sections that could be assembled to make a large pseudo-parabolic mirror for a solar concentrator. You wouldn't get telescope-quality imaging, certainly, but if all you needed was to concentrate a lot of light on a small space (for a steam generator, say) it should work fine.
Congrats on the upcoming wedding!
You're putting yourself down here. But congrats on the proposal!
