Flash Domino
Work or Fail 7
updated
This year's event took place from July 9 to July 15, 2023, at The Tech Interactive in San Jose, CA. The team also hosted workshops throughout the week teaching the venue guests how to build dominoes and machines. On July 15 at 1 pm, we toppled everything for an in-person audience of hundreds!
This has been Reactica's best year yet, and we are once again the largest active team-led domino and machine event in California. We look forward to returning in 2024!

I am very, very proud of this video and I did not expect to get another large solo project out so quickly after releasing The Kinetic Universe! The builds in this video are right in my comfort zone in terms of materials, scale, and complexity. However, I did challenge myself a little with weirder motions and connections, while also giving the builds a wider variety of creative endings. Every video I make teaches me more about the different ways kinetic art projects can come together, and it feels good to end the year with this one.
I got so many videos out during 2022 and it really felt like I built non-stop the entire year – I may need a break from personal projects going into 2023 as I focus more on live events and commissions. But rest assured, you haven’t seen the last of them!

This year's theme is "Beating The Odds", with tricks and ideas centered around probability. There are trickshots, launches, and lots of risk! The setup is divided into four main quadrants, with a spinner wheel and arrow at the very center - which section will the arrow land on? The grand finale is the unofficial World Record for Longest Structure Chain, with 36 domino structures connected by string that fall in sequence.
From June 27 to July 3, we were hard at work setting up this build at The Tech Interactive in San Jose, CA. Throughout the week, we also hosted workshops teaching the venue guests how to build dominoes and machines. On July 4 at noon, we toppled everything for an in-person audience of hundreds!
I've waited so long to bring Reactica back as a live event and I am so proud of what we accomplished this year. I can't wait to potentially bring it back in the future and keep pushing the boundaries of live domino and machine event builds!

A huge thank you to the team for continuing to put the time into building virtually - it means so much to still be able to host this event every year. While Reactica 2020 was a step down from our in-person chain reaction events, I'm glad to now have one virtual year where the chain reactions still match the size of an in-person project. Here's to many more years of Reactica :)

As I built, I saw that this project would represent my style, but it wouldn't represent my identity. It reminded me more of a creative community that evolves over time, its members conquering obstacles and improving their craft. And just like a community, this project overcame its toppled failures and gradually bettered its aesthetic. It was almost like it did all that without me, willing its own inspiration and improvement.
So at the end of the day, this project makes me grateful to watch communities push forward.

Not to sound self-centered, but I do kind of see myself in this mountain. High expectations, busy schedules, and lack of ideas always keep me from building, and I spent too much time getting this machine off the table. But when I climbed, I raced and reached the top before I knew it. The mountain is not only my building style, but all of my real-life building tendencies and mindsets.
And you know what? I’m happy I can see myself in my work this way, just this once.

This video is also an important step in the evolution of my building style. My domino style was always prone to intricacy and integration of other objects over large and visual designs, but because of that, it really helped me foster my developing machine style. It’s been a gradual process, as managing both dominoes and machines can slow you down from getting really good at either one. I’m glad to be steadily getting better, and I’ve felt comfortable with both art forms for a while now. I also hope to show the range of hybrid art more clearly in the future. This video does it clear enough, but I can still do better - I will keep working to achieve the peak balance between dominoes and machines!
Anyways, it’s been a while since I’ve uploaded a solo project, so hopefully this holds up to the increasingly cool stuff that other builders are uploading today :) Like, comment, subscribe, share, and enjoy!

I also want to give a shoutout to Domino World 2020! There are many ways to handle chain reaction events that aren’t in-person, and the Domino World team still went all-out and made a giant screenlink collab. So if you want to see a virtual chain reaction event that still focuses on showcasing chain reaction tricks, you should check out their work!

It's been too long since either Twig or I have uploaded an actual stylistic domino video- for me, it's been almost three years! I'm so happy we could now make one together. The concept of "progressively more compact" setups is something I've wanted to do for a while (and apparently Twig's had the idea in their back pocket too)! While I thought I could capitalize on some free time last December to finally execute this concept, these projects ended up taking months for us. The final result could not be more worth it.
I made the setups with 1K, 3K, and 5K dominoes, and Twig made the other three. Both the 3K and 5K setups are actually setups that I built twice. The first build was last December, and I finished them both in about two weeks. But watching them back, I decided I didn't like the style- they seemed rushed, the compactness wasn't consistent, and it seemed like I used too many filler ideas instead of core ones. When I returned home from school again in March, I built them both for the second time. I am much happier with the results from the second attempts, and those are what made the final cut! Maybe I'll upload the first builds eventually as well.
With all the time I've given my building style to improve, plus the fact that two of my three setups were given multiple attempts, I can confidently say this work is me at my best. And yet the intricacy of my projects doesn't get anywhere close to what Twig is now able to build. There are so many things I love about their setups in this video- structure variation to create scenery, more unexpected and unconventional collapsing structures, color combos with similar hues, color combos with contrasting hues, expert pathing, and just that they took the time to make every connection graceful so that no idea went to waste. I am honored to collaborate with the best compact builder the community has ever seen.
Like, comment, subscribe, share, and enjoy! I'll be busy with live events and other community videos for a while. Hopefully it's not three more years before I make a video like this again, but who knows?

My section of the machine is everything on the far end of the table (0:35-0:57) and the lever for the start/end box. Due to lack of build time, my section didn’t end up as intricate or clean as I would’ve wanted it to be. It did end up being pretty reliable at least- during testing it only failed twice, one of which was a reset fail (also not counting when the falling book in berlagawesome's section caused early triggers in my section).
This was still a really fun collab though! It was really nice to visit and build with berlagawesome again, he knew how to manage his build time and he executed his part of the machine really well. His entire section on the mantle was super creative, and the super linear build space didn't seem like an obstacle for him. It was super cool to see what he contributed this time around.
Thanks for watching!

With all of my future building plans currently being live chain reaction machines that I'll have to keep simple and reliable, I'm really glad I could make an intricate homemade one! I also hope I can build dominoes again sometime soon because maybe I’ve had a style change there too...? :)

This year's event took place at The Tech Interactive in San Jose, CA from 8/3 to 8/9. The final falldown was on 8/10 for an in-person audience of hundreds while livestreamed to many more. A complete evidence packet, including footage of the machine, will be sent to Guinness World Records for an attempt at the Largest Rube Goldberg world record.
I am beyond grateful to have organized this event for another year. Thank you to the builders, museum staff, and countless other supporters. Thank you to everyone who visited to watch the build and attend the workshops. Reactica 2019 is the first live large-scale machine event of its kind and I can't wait to improve on it from here!

I had some time over my winter break so I decided to build a giant (but still relatively small) chain reaction project. Similar to the Foreign Object Domino Chain from about a year and a half ago, this project uses many different objects for domino tricks. I feel like this is where my style shines the most :D
Learning from recent team events, I'm now trying to clean up my style a bit. I've started using k'nex and condensing my tricks down to consistent motions. So far it's working out- aside from scrapping one trick, everything in the video worked during every trial run. Hopefully I can keep getting better.
This project even had a rebuild factor, where I could set all dominoes and tricks back up in a couple of hours if it failed. Fortunately though, it worked on the first try :p
I'm very happy that I got the chance to do a homemade project like this again! It's always good practice for event building. It felt kinda rusty at first but overall it was fun.

The final result turned out amazing. 15,000 dominoes and a 200-step chain reaction took up half of the museum's theater, and was toppled and livestreamed for an audience of hundreds. All of the team members put their best ideas and work on the table. For this video, we did decide to use lots of backup footage rather than falldown footage, to emphasize that every part of the chain reaction could be seen clearly and to cover up a few fails. Be on the lookout for machine closeups too, which will be uploaded by many other team members- that way you can take an in-depth look at each table!
Besides the project itself and all of its aspects, I love the event dynamic. Everyone on the building team is skilled and efficient, and the museum staff goes above and beyond every year. It's amazing to see children visit and try their hand at domino setups, building things from their minds that nobody has seen before. This event reminds me that people work best when they make time for things they believe in and do things the way they want to do them. Getting inspired by what my team comes up with, seeing the children's setups, and watching the museum's work ethic is a great way to learn.
Thanks, everyone, for making these build weeks some of my most memorable experiences- I'm looking forward to great things (Reactica 2019?) :D

Super excited to share this collaboration video. I spent a weekend with Sprice at his apartment and this is what we decided to make. This is a tribute to the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics with a small field and some deception in the wall design.
Thanks for the fun weekend Sprice! It not only gave me the opportunity to build again but I had so much fun travelling around the city and getting great food. Best of luck with your future projects!

Thank you to the Mitchell Park Library for this fourth opportunity to build! This small chain reaction took six hours to make. Berlagawesome made a clean chain reaction machine for the 2, I built the 1 and 8, and the two of us worked together for the 0.
Have an amazing year!

This project means so much to me. I spent days testing entire segments of this project and many parts were built multiple times. I would go to bed with nightmares about so many possible things that would fail or trigger early, and hurriedly fix them the next morning. Parts of the project I had to leave standing while I left for travel events and day excursions. In the end, a lot of this project worked – much more of the project than I expected to work. There are so many tricks and ideas I’ve been holding on to and finally got to build. If the year was 1976, I’d hold the domino world record ;)
Today is the day I leave for college (9/9/17), which means that I’ve had to clean up my building room, find a safe place for my chain reaction materials and get all my content online by today. After over 100 videos and weekly summer uploads, this video will be the last homemade video of its kind. Even if I continue to post, the videos you see may be differently formatted or in new building places. As of today, my days of building at home by myself are over.
As for team events and collaborative projects, I hope to continue those. I am still in touch with CDM about events in 2018 and beyond, and will be very open to attending events and projects that other builders need help for! I have made so many friends on YouTube and established real-life connections, and I don’t plan to lose them. Building with others is much more beneficial to me than building alone.
Building chain reactions has always been a passion project for me. Over six years it’s cost so much time and money and it requires quite a lot of support. All this effort went into boosting nothing more than a passion. But after all this time, I’ve been looking for friendships, conversations, and experiences. The gains from building aren’t obvious, but they’re there. Building is nothing more, yet nothing less than a passion project.
Stick around- college will be busy and you may not hear from me for a while, but my domino career is far from over! This is the end of a chapter of video production and domino building for me, but I do plan on uploading more :)

What a collab. Berlagawesome hosted this one and he also pulled off one of the best domino setups I have ever seen. The original sonimod spiral idea was amazing to see and the entire setup worked perfectly! Go check out some of his other domino projects but don't forget that he's a groundbreaking machine builder too.
I built my machine next to the domino setup, it took about 24 hours to make. It failed a lot but I'm proud of the magnet suspension trick, the yogurt cup trick, and the fact that nothing hits the floor ;)
Enjoy the finale to the Role Reversal trilogy- this last video has a little story to it that ties all three Role Reversal projects together :D

Many of these projects were built with help from friends. Maybe you could tell that some of the setups weren't built by just me ;)

If you want, you can "read" this video instead. Here's a script with everything that I say in this video basically word for word: docs.google.com/document/d/110StQQNbvvA1-yRcASj2N_9C5hBRjpXzDxOqXghHPnM/edit?usp=sharing
This video was originally going to be a travel montage of ISM but at some point I realized I wasn’t going to get enough b-roll. I think it’s better to pay tribute to all the people I’ve met rather than the traveling I’ve done. I’m so much more grateful for them. Editing-wise, this is a very flawed video, but I hope you at least appreciate some of the things that were said :)
I’m often thinking about how lucky I am to even get to build dominoes. It’s such a time and money consuming hobby and I’m probably super spoiled at this point. Thank you to everyone who has made this an experience for me. By building, I’ve been trying to learn as much as I can about engineering, project management and making friends. I’m closing up my pre-college domino career and cannot, cannot wait to start fresh.
Anyways, all the touchy and sentimental stuff is in the video. No channel links in the description. I’m a small channel and this is a 14 minute video, how much promotion can it be anyways? This video was more for the personal messages.

Super proud of the multi-use elements and the compact style on this one. If you look closely, you can find a stapler, a Chinese yo-yo, and a fidget spinner. Magnets were also my friends for this one, they're hidden in a lot of places to keep things stable and kinetically sound.
Hopefully it's easy enough to follow the first time but you'll find more and more things the more you watch it ;)

I guess there's no shame in admitting that this was a pretty slow overall year for me. I barely used my building room (I can count my number of building days on my fingers) and I had to cancel a lot of upcoming videos. As an individual, I was not on top of my game at all.
However, my two biggest achievements this year may be my biggest building achievements ever- CDM 2017 and California Domino Art @YTSLA! (No footage of the latter project in this video though, I don't meet the sub requirement.) Looking back at how well I built during events like these, I noticed something.
I built better at events than at home, and I also made a lot of collabs this year (and more coming soon!) Maybe this was because I had no time to produce full videos by myself, but it does support one major lesson that I've learned. That is: one of the most beneficial things you can do is find and interact with like-minded people.
I am still very, very proud of the things I build on my own, given the busy life I live, but to see others contribute to videos I make (and to contribute to others' videos of course) gives those videos extra meaning. It's not only production but communication, video calls, and mutual respect. The CDM and YTSLA events would not have happened without other builders (Sprice was the lead builder for the YTSLA event, so of course, that definitely would not have happened).
I'm looking forward to building with the ISM team again next week and I can't wait to work with engineers in college. Establishing relationships and living experiences means so much more than a YouTube video.
May we all keep pushing until we find the people and the things we love to do. Thanks for a thought-provoking year.

^^^^This is the main reason I was in LA! Go check out this awesome California-themed domino project that I built with Sprice Machines.
This was a super fun trip, there were summer vibes all over LA and it felt amazing to be there. YouTube Space LA is an awesome place to be, the people are so friendly and there is so much to do!

This project was originally going to be a part of Random Domino Videos Episode 8, but since it basically tops all the other projects in the video I decided to give it an upload of its own (Episode 8 coming August though, don't worry!)

I would highly, highly recommend VidCon to anyone. The entire convention looks beautiful and it's in a great area. On top of that, there are so many great people to talk to and everyone is always curious about what other people make. I met close to forty different creators with the most amazing personalities and I subscribed to them all!
This is a new kind of video for this channel, breaking the pattern of planned setups and screenlinks with on-the-go travel footage. Usually I save these kinds of videos for WCB but VidCon was amazing and I am more than happy to upload this on my main channel! Expect more of these videos (on this channel) as I travel more places this summer! :D
