Random Hybrid Videos

In chain reaction art, a hybrid builder is someone that builds both dominoes and machines. However, “dominoes and machines” doesn’t define the hybrid project as well as it does the builder. There is a wide range to what hybrid projects are, including: tricks that combine dominoes and machines, projects that separate both into sections, and even setups that have both but favor one over the other. I’ve declared myself a hybrid builder for years now, and yet very few of my videos have touched on what hybrid art could be. That changes with this video, which showcases hybrid art as a spectrum from intricate dominoes falling in machine-like ways to machines with longer domino connections. Here are eight setups from all across the hybrid spectrum.

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!
