The rules of the game:

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. The matches last for ten volleys and when it’s complete, everyone visiting the site votes for a winner.

I haven’t seen a good “tennis” match in a few years; I can’t wait to see how this turns out. Updates will be available from the site as well as through Coudal’s Twitter feed. (via DF)

Match Recap: ‘Twas a decent match, although Kevin Cornell ruled the day. For me, the volley that sealed it for Cornell was Volley 9 in which Cornell brought together numerous elements from earlier in the match with near-perfect composition. Inman’s final volley followed in turn, but ultimately proved to be too-little-too-late.

Layer Tennis is a great way to spend a Friday afternoon; I can’t wait for the next match, scheduled for next Friday, October 5th.
