This is really rather cool. I especially enjoyed the way it was so easy to spot my own instrument. I wonder if you could actually get an orchestra to play pieces using this type of thing as their actual score. I suspect, with a bit of refinement and practise, you actually could. I've never played this movement, but I've been in a youth orchestra that played another movement in the same piece, and I tell you, the buzz/chill you get from being in the middle of and part of an orchestra as it belts out a powerful piece is like nothing else. I don't know how to put it into words.
I found this at Mad Minerva. She found it elsewhere. Follow my link to her link if you're interested.

There's a very impressive visual representation of Bach's D minor prelude and fugue (just the prelude, actually) here:

It lets you see how "geometric" Bach is.
Amazing too that one person is doing all this with just two hands and two feet.
