Library dominos

If you have wondered what people do in the sections of a library that contain journals, now that they are available online, here is a clue.

The annotation is just as amusing as the clip itself:
"I did this fairly spontaneously at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign's ACES Library. As a conceptual art project, it pokes fun at and criticizes the monotony and strictness of institutions and libraries.

It's all real - no tricks here! It was set up in one dominoe line, but filmed in four takes. After I finished the last take, 4 hours into the project, the librarian finally came up to investigate the ruckus. She waved her finger and kicked me out and wouldn't let me help pick up the books. Lucky for her I had kept all the books in their shelved order - easy cleanup!"
