The puzzle is made from multiple modules each with an 8x8 LED grid. The tiles are battery powered and each one has PIC24FJ64GA004 microcontroller. They sit on a tray with flat copper strips as a serial bus. The tray controller broadcasts the animation to the tiles. Each tile waits for its unique identifier and saves that portion of the animation. The tiles don't actually know what order they're in so once the animation is in motion you can figure out their proper order; rearranging them so the animation is correct. We've got a video of it in action after the break.
