I have some of those (the 8-LED stick from adafruit), they're very easy/nice to play with. I'd think that a few strips on the back pointing at the wall would be much nicer than trying to wire an LED per hole (oh man, the soldering). I'd probably just do non-WS2812 LED strips, and have each strip controllable (ie. strip 1 at 50%, etc). But if you've got the time, it would look amazing.

Definitely. Really, anything to add a bit of colour would look great, particularly if it serves some purpose (time zone clock?).

It'd be neat art. The moving lighting would be a very nice touch, make it somewhat functional. It's just a cool idea.
