A Sport for Design Geeks: Layer Tennis

I just discovered Coudal Partners’ Layer Tennis this week and it is awesome.   Layer Tennis is a competition of two artists.  It’s basically sending an image back and forth and changing it.  It’s starts with a ’serve’ image then continues for 10 ‘volleys’.  They have 15 minutes to return the volley and it has to either have something to do with the same theme as the last image (or movie.  Layer Tennis is also played with Adobe Flash and After Effects) or use the same imagery.  Then at the end of the competition a winner is announced.

Two of my favorite artists played this week, Cindy Li and Veerle Pieters.  A winner won’t be announced until Monday, but I’m thinking it’s going to be Veerle.  We will see.
