Besides being the home of the wonderfully retro-futuristic Atomium, Expo 58 also had an exhibit by IBM that included this video, the first of a number of videos made for IBM by Charles and Ray Eames.
It is worth taking note of the credit "Planning and Photography by John Whitney". Around the same time, Whitney also collaborated with Charles and Ray Eames for the “Glimpses of the United States” exhibit at the 1959 National Exhibition in Moscow.
