La Bastille

The biggest art installation ever to appear in the state of Rhode Island
is also alleged to be the world's largest functioning game of Tetris.
Created by students at Brown University's Technology House, La Bastille
consists of a 12-story data network (housed in Brown's 14-story Sciences
Library), 11 custom circuit boards, a Linux PC, and over 10,000
Christmas lights. If you missed the real world display, which ran from
April 14-22, head over to this online chronicle instead for a detailed
look at the collaborative project, complete with photos and movies of
the live event.
