domino starry night

flippy cat recreated van gogh’s ‘the starry night’ in dominoes

‘starry night – vincent van dominogh’ is a recreation of van gogh’s famous painting using 7,067 dominoes. created by domino artist flippycat, the project took 11 hours to build, plus the time for a failed first attempt.

after constructing the entire work with carefully arranged, aligned, and stacked dominoes in a three-dimensional configuration, flippycat initiated a domino chain reaction with a leading line of grey pieces, causing all the dominoes to fall in a cascade and turn the pixel-like assemblage into a more impressionistic recreation.
