<p>Artists from the <a href="http://www.gaffa.com.au/">Gaffa Gallery</a> installed a series of falling giant Tetris pieces in an alleyway in Sydney.  <a href="http://www.cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au/artandabout/ExhibitionsEvents/LiveLanes/GaffaGallery.asp">They write</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>There are grand implications of error here that lead to questions, such as who exactly has been playing Giant Tetris? What were they trying to do? Could I have done better? Is the city grid similar to a computer game or different? What brain-space am I in when I&#8217;m playing games on my computer? Is it more or less alert than when I&#8217;m waiting in line for a sandwich? The work seeks to challenge conceptions of the North end of Sydney&#8217;s CBD as an orderly, socially cold grid and beckons viewers to assess their own level of interaction, play and hacking within the city</p></blockquote>

<p>A student group in Poland executed a series of projects where they used the lights in their dorm room to create awesomeness.  In the above video you can see a game of Snake and a bit of Pong at the very end.  Their <a href="http://www.youtube.com/profile_videos?user=SKNMOS&#038;p=r">YouTube channel</a> has several other videos, including this James Bond video:</p>

<p>There have been several examples of students using the same technique to create massive games of Tetris.  Here&#8217;s a video a Russian group that pulled it off:</p>
