Hook it up to a movie and it plays one frame every few seconds, for use as an ambient display. You could grab a public domain movie from https://archive.org/details/feature_films to avoid copyright issues.
Would be amusing to play the video through canvas and run various image processing things on it, to try out different styles or even make it somewhat abstract (like how the "very slow movie player" from the post turns it into dithered black-and-white).
Make something like this but in JavaScript (thanks to @eldang for sending me the link!):
