Human Tetris, from the Game Over Project.

[randomness]

From http://notsonoisy.com/tetris/index.html:

TETRIS is the fourth video performance of the GAME OVER Project, directed by the Swiss artist Guillaume REYMOND (NOTsoNOISY creative agency).

Who does not remember TETRIS, one of the very first video games? Players had to pile up rudimentary geometric forms on top of each others, in tune with a little Russian music…

Well, the biggest ever game of human TETRIS has in fact taken place on November 24th 2007, as a pre-view of the festival "Les Urbaines", in Lausanne, Switzerland!

88 extras
4 1/2 hours of shooting
880 pictures

They also did Pole Position, Space Invaders, and Pong.

(Thanks to allessindra for the pointer!)

1. This is awesome, although I found it really frustrating that they played so *badly*. Possibly I am neurotic.
2. On a related note, I still hold the high score on the tetris arcade game in the bar across the street.

I'm surprised they finished so quickly. Awesome.
