Tetris in Action

Is there a way of combining the love of playing Tetris with well built multi-storey structures?

Project Blinkenlights seem to have the answer. For the pinnacle of ultra large displays - how about playing Tetris using the windows of the Biblotheque Nationale de France as the screen?

These guys have done similar installations in Germany before and now you can do the same in France.

But what of the controls? Forward thinking as they are, they have managed to put together a system which lets you control the game through your mobile phone (assuming you can see the building that is).

OK, so the display is one colour only, but how long before we can expect to play Mario Bros on the side of Canary Wharf...
