Swiss artist Guillaume Reymond played Tetris with real human-beings in an auditorium. This stop-motion video was played for Les Urbaines Festival in November 2007 in Switzerland.

Moreover, it’s extremely popular on YouTube. Six hours ago, this video was watched 250.000 times, now it counts 716,078 (!). Be number 716,079 and enjoy this digital art viral!

I hope you like that post!

    I always wondered if it would be possible to build a physical Tetris game. SImilar to a real pinball machine. I guess it would be possible but very complicated.

    Oh, and I am a MUCH better Tetris player than the guy in this movie… ;-)
