THE WAY THINGS GO Clip | From Fischli and Weiss

Still pointless..... still cool.

Oh, I get it. Still pointless..... Still cool

what an extreme waste of time

Schön!

Pity Health and Safety wouldn't allow this type of combustible art in colleges. Could be fun! 

I would work a fire eater in there somewhere.

All time classic. Great stuff.

Watch the whole length movie in Lyon at "L'art et la machine" exhibition in Musée des Confluences. And for the same price some pieces of 2001 and Forbidden Planet !

totally useless... and NOT art

The original OKGO dudes! Awesome.

Die Geräusche sind unheimlich lustig! :D

3 minutes and 12 seconds of my life that are gone

3 minutes and 12 seconds of :D

stupendo

Love it

why fires?

So this is where Honda got their inspiration for "the cog" commercial. Amazing.

fake

I might be late, but I have the disc for this!

It's clever and enjoyable. Therefore, it is not "pointless."

Did you noticed that they used the fire shots for making transitions?

Malgré le temps passé, la magie opère toujours !

Definitely thought this was all gonna be one single take.

Where is the dont try this at home warning?

.....who started it all? who pushed the first button?

hello peps

kind of dumb if it isn't one continuous shot.

Who's here from BNU

This is one of the best chain reactions I have ever seem

I’m here for class

Makes me think of the movie Leagle Eagle with Robert Redford Darryl Hannah .

My grandpa has the whole thing on video tape and as kids my brother and I used to just watch it over and over again. Honestly a great watch for kids. It’s totally mesmerizing.

I prefer The Cog

I used to show this to my 5th grade art students ever year as they did a unit on Rube Goldberg. It never ever failed to make them shout out what they thought was going to happen next! Great memories.

A film made in the 80s with 60s-era film technology is like retro-ception at this point.

Cool yet predictable...nothing random about it. It could be rebuilt and redone again and again with the same results.

this doesn't sound like her

Found my way back to Brooklyn, let me know if you want you want to hear the whole Layford Cay story

I was fortunate to visit a F&W retrospective at the Tate in London where this was on display. I bought the DVD for the entire thing, I think what was on display was a subset of the whole thing but yes it is all real! Fantastic work and resonates even better as time goes on and humans are losing touch with what is real and what is not and “the way things go”

Not very imaginative. A bit of over use of the fire thing.

Never gets old

A truly wonderful film that incorporates a rich variety of chain reactions in creative arrangements. The only thing that's missing is seeing the human/intelligent triggering at the very beginning. We only see the sparking fuse, not the cause of the sparking fuse, but maybe that's an intentional nod to the "hidden hand" behind it all?

Google “the way things go”. The ad is an homage to that short film.
