This is the 'Domino picture plan' depicting the necessary layout of the domino pieces so to create the desired outcome, the Albert Einstein portrait. For the purpose of not to anticipate the outcome, the domino pieces are depicted not with their dots on, but with the number, representing the amount of dots (eg: 7 and 2). The numbers range from 1 to 9. The plan also reveals the necessary direction of the domino pieces, horizontally or vertically. Each number on the pieces is again represented through a series of * (star- signs). There is a panel at the bottom right with the inscription: 'Domino Picture Plan: Subject; Albert / Sets 4 Double 9 Series 842321 / (c) 1984 Metron Studios Oakland, CA 94602'.
