Cambridge, MA - MIT again lit its Green Building this week for a live, interactive tetris game on a giant scale this weekend.

It's at least the third time the building's been converted, including a 1993 Fourth of July hack that turned the building lights into a giant sound meter. It's the second time it's performed the Tetris hack, first pulled off in April 2012.

Originally, the game was erected by a group of student hackers. This time around, it appears to be done by the university itself, as part of MIT's Campus Preview Weekend. Either way, it's a cool trick.
