| Video Discription | Closed in the early 1990s, one area of Communicore West can easily be crowned as the definitive definition of a prophecy that came true. Nestled along a huge wall in Futurecom, this 40-foot kinetic sculpture included fifty-five automaton figures and countless animated devices, props and displays; all timed to react and move in perfect synchronyy with the song that shared its name with the display: The Age of Information. Walter Einsel, an American Sculptor and Artist, was commissioned by Disney to bring the imagineers concepts to life. Known for his illustrative corporate work for Allied Van Lines, Jello and even the creative star behind the Merill Lync bull logo, Walter got to work on this project in his barn, converted to studio, in Westport, CT. As a young girl, Walter's granddaughter Lisa watched him work on nearly a daily basis...drawings, carvings, figures...Soon the models and concepts were shipped to Disney where Imagineers turned the concepts in the full-size working display. EPCOT opened, Walter and family visited to see and admire his work and then, life went on...Communicore closed in early 1994, the Age of Information was dismantled and either archived or destroyed, EPCOT had moved on and Innoventions stormed into the space. Walter passed-on a few years later in 1998, and the majority of his work lay dormant in his studio from that point forward. Fast forward to 2016 when Lisa returned to the studio after Niaad Einsel, Walter's wife passed away. Going through years of her grandparents' unparalleled careers and collection, she pulled the covers back on a treasure trove of his drawings, models and sketches for the Age of Information as well as a never before seen VHS video of the display. Thinking that someone out there may someday want to see the documents and video she ensured their safety. We'll be sharing her grandfather's papers at a later time once we have them all scanned in. |
