stick Godzilla in with the white boxes...
...and see what happens!If you have megalomaniac tendancies you probably get very tempted by precarious piles of things, perhaps you want to play jenga with the stacks of beans in the supermarket, or maybe you're into creating mile high stacks of washing up (as a result of I'm not washing up the frying pan with the bacon on, I'm vegeterian and my ex-girlfriend was jewish type arguments) and seeing how high you can get before they fall over.
The new installation in the Tate turbine hall presents a lovely challenge, and now with the re-release of Godzilla from the BFI, all the atomic monster has to do is wander down the South Bank (perhaps taking out Superintendant Gomm if we're lucky) and crash into the turbine hall taking out 14,000 white boxes. If you were to film such an event with a high speed camera, and then run the film backwards, the resultant effect would be lovely.

Yay, that could be interesting. Certainly more actiony than just the boxes by themselves, which look a tad dull. (Interesting to see that the installation is sponsored by Unilever - perhaps it's an attempt to make poeple look more positively on their overpackaged products?)
