Jarashi Suki, a Japanese artist, put these guys together – dominoes that trip each other without physical contact. Each domino has a number displayed by dots, which can be changed by shaking the domino; the numbers determine the sequence that the dominos fall over in.The video above shows some fairly rad domino chains that wouldn’t be possible with non-fancy dominoes.
