It may not have the luminosity of Van Gogh’s original painting, but FlippyCat‘s is an impressive feat in itself. This 7,000-domino construction dissolves into a neat simulacrum of The Starry Night.

FlippyCat’s first attempt, which appears late in the video, failed when a screw from the camera rig onto the dominoes. (Yikes!) The second attempt took 11 hours to set up, and while there were two small breaks in the final fall, it’s very cool to see these dominoes transform into that familiar picture.
