Kickoff Party with Games for Tom Russotti and the Institute for Aesthletics Aesthletics
The Institute for Aesthletics is dedicated to the playing of sports as an artistic practice. Aesthletics is a conscious acknowledgment of sport, especially contemporary spectator sports, as a mixture of physical activity, social interaction, movement, performance, and ritual. Kickoff games will include Mercury. Mercury is a sport where the rules of the game change approximately every five minutes. Starting as football, the game transforms via the Shifter, a device that may make a team field several goalies, make people run backwards, or replace the football with a ping pong ball.
