IM BALL / Henrik Kaalund & Kostia Rapoport

Henrik Kaalund created for this specific occation a game with a set of rules. Noises from football games in live-samples was processed and used as signals for motion events. The whistle from the referee, the noise from the ball-kicking, the audience-woah at a near-score and even the cheering when a goal is scored, was part of the pre-arranged signals. The game was played out on an improvisational/interactive basis with a referee to controll the game..
