    hi all,

    some years back, i viewed this art video during a photography class. it was about 30 or 45 minutes long (maybe longer?) and consisted of kinetic stuff.
    one thing knocking over another thing which makes the ball roll which hits the other thing which lights the fire which releases the thing which hits the tire which rolls over and hits the... on and on!
    it looked like it was done in the '70s.. maybe the '80s. apparently, it's quite famous. i've run across 3 other people who know of it but not the artist. anybody?

    I don't know the video that you're talking about, but if you google or search YouTube for Rube Goldberg you should find similar videos.
