			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I came across these magnificent falling <em>Tetris</em> block sculptures snooping around over on Flickr earlier today.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-6004 aligncenter" title="tetris_block_australia_0" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/tetris_block_australia_0.jpg" alt="Giant Tetris Sculpture Lights in Sydney Australia" width="520" height="780" /></p>
<p>When I first stumbled onto these images over on <a href="http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=tetris&amp;w=35695536%40N00">Justin James&#8217; Flickr gallery</a>, all I could figure out was that they&#8217;re a) giant <em>Tetris</em> pieces and b) they were seen somewhere on the streets of Australia. Given a land mass of over 7,686,850 square kilometers, I figured it might take some legwork to find these in person.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-6005 aligncenter" title="tetris_block_australia_1" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/tetris_block_australia_1.jpg" alt="Giant Tetris Sculpture Lights in Sydney Australia" width="520" height="822" /></p>
<p>A little sleuthing revealed <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nowends/3094012442/sizes/l/in/set-72157610856495033/">this photo</a> which provided the missing link in finding the true location of these massive falling bricks.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-6006 aligncenter" title="tetris_block_australia_3" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/tetris_block_australia_3.jpg" alt="Giant Tetris Sculpture Lights in Sydney Australia" width="520" height="625" /></p>
<p>It turns out if you happen to be wandering the streets of Sydney, you can find these oversize, illuminated <em>Tetris</em> block sculptures floating over your head as you walk through the narrow corridors of <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Abercrombie+Lane+sydney&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;oe=utf-8&amp;client=firefox-a&amp;z=16&amp;g=Abercrombie+Lane+sydney&amp;iwloc=addr">Abercrombie Lane</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-6007 aligncenter" title="tetris_block_australia_2" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/tetris_block_australia_2.jpg" alt="Giant Tetris Sculpture Lights in Sydney Australia" width="520" height="773" /></p>
<p>Further exploration revealed that <em>Giant Tetris</em> (aka <em>&#8220;One More Go One More Go&#8221;</em>) is actually part of an outdoor art exhibition called <a href="http://www.cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au/artandabout/ExhibitionsEvents/LiveLanes/">Live Lanes &#8211; By George!</a> which runs through January 31, 2009. The larger-than-life installation was put together by the guys over at <a href="http://www.gaffa.com.au/">Gaffa Gallery</a>, who clearly have fond memories of the classic brick-stacking puzzler.</p>
<p>You&#8217;d better get over there quick, before all of the blocks fall to the ground and fill up the entire alley.</p>
