Gigantic domino run


The Perucci Brothers, a pair of kinetic artists, created this insanely elaborate domino run for the Brattleboro Museum and Art Center. I've never seen anything that comes close to this for sheer, audacious, obsessive domino nerddom. Link (Thanks, Jason!)

I feel totally gypped! They only showed the last 30 seconds or so of the run!

Yeah, Lone... I was about to post the same thing. Even though it's kind of commercial, it's no less insanely elaborate :)

Dominos are fun. You can actually use them with no other objects to evaluate the truth value of any statement in propositional calculus for fixed truth values of the variables (this isn't that hard to do - the main challenge is making a functioning not-gate).

Very cool, and yet one more reason why Brattleboro is completely awesome.

That wasn't even close to some of the grander domino sets that have been done.

And what lousy video of the actual event!

Not sure if it compares to the kinetic art of Tim Fort. He's got a mega run on archive.org

Clerks III: The Supermarket Domino Run

The 24-can cases of beer make great domino bricks!

It looked to me like the audience cut off a lot of the sight lines.
