LED technology is great, but using it for this is going way too far. The use of these for a video wall in the water to have anything on there is too expensive and a little over the top. It is just a waste of money and they could come up with something better than that.
LED tech is cool. I see it as displacing (once the price comes down and the spectral output issues are helped) a number of conventional lighting applications (rock and other effects lighting for example). An LED video wall is something i briefly looked at making. It would be fun, until you factor in the soldering (and buying) of some tens of thousands of leds. Things like this, which is primarily cool and minimally actually useful, are good because they draw attention to new technology.
interesting use of technology, yet not a really innovative idea, just nobody's bothered to waste the money on it yet.
I can't imagine this horizontal show being very effective, unless you view it from a helicopter or really really high seating banks. and i dont think the ocean is the best place for it... fish and seaweed and such will be bound to get in the way.
