Layer Tennis

I can’t believe I have never seen this before. Extremely entertaining, Layer Tennis is a live battle by designers commentary by a writer on each “volley.” You know what? I can’t really explain it.

From the site: “Two artists (or two small teams of artists) will swap a file back and forth in real-time, adding to and embellishing the work. Each artist gets fifteen minutes to complete a “volley” and then we post that to the site. A third participant, a writer, provides play-by-play commentary on the action, as it happens.”

Brought to you by the geniuses at Coudal Partners, this is well worth the look. I’d love to catch it live, but reviewing the volleys and commentary afterward was an exhilarating experience when you keep in mind that each designer had only 15 minutes to create their volley. Astounding.
