So is my sense of direction off, or is this - coincidentally, I'm sure - right in the middle of the path from the existing Universal Studios to the under construction Epic Universe?

Correct, assuming you take the I-4 route.
Also seems like it will be visible from the top of the Volcano Bay slide towers, and likely some rooms at Aventura. Google street view from the I4 / Sand Lake ramp running alongside Volcano Bay:

I assume the sign itself is the 'art' part of this as it is designed to look like a ribbon?
The what and the who? I didn’t think those existed in Disney boardrooms, at least according to Blue Ocean believer Iger. I’m sure Chappie is in the same boat on that ocean.

You can quite literally see it from inside Volcano Bay and will have to drive past it on your way to Epic Universe. From the concept art, it’ll be visible from I4, I-drive, Sand Lake, Universal Blvd, and some of Kirkman. What do these things have in common? You’ll have to drive on at least one to get to EU…

I assume "dynamic" means the screen itself will move...
I took that as meaning the display will be video rather than stills.

Disney marketing consistently shows that they think the reason people do not go to WDW is because they don't know it exists.

"Guys, Universal is building a massive new complex featuring a state-of-the-art theme park, hotel and new entertainment center! We need to compete!"
"We should build a billboard."
"I don't know..."
"A wavy billboard attached to an unattractive parking garage."
"NAILED IT!"
"And if that doesn't work, we can consider a sixth vaguely futuristic-themed coaster featuring lighting effects in a dark warehouse."

"Renderings show the display featuring Disney World's Slinky Dog Dash roller coaster in Hollywood Studios with the words "Toy Story Land" and picture of a Little Green Man, one of the characters in Disney's "Toy Story" movie franchise.
If they really wanted to go with the "Art" argument, the rendering should have been something else. Sheesh. It's a flashy billboard. Like the comparable "art installations" along the Las Vegas strip.

Orlando doesn't need more distracted drivers but this just adds to it.

I don't like this at all. International Drive should be its own thing and doesn't need Disney branding over it.
This is nothing more than a d--- waving move.

I agree with you. It's a cheap, tacky move by Disney.
Add it to all the other visual clutter eyesores along I-4.
