In "Mission," which was on display at Harvard's Carpenter Center until March 2, Meireles created an environment with a floor covered by 600,000 pennies beneath a ceiling of 2,000 bones.

Nonetheless, TV analyst Allen Griffin says the set is a good omen. The breakthrough "plasma" technology that made these high-end boxes possible should push higher-quality, lower-cost versions into the price range of mortals...
