The project NADAL is an attempt to get close to a geometrical fantasy. By facing the limits of performance and failure, by challenging borders between a champion and a machine, it can be seen as one of the constant love & hate story (interaction) which shapes our relationship with technologies.
The installation NADAL Beta consists in a purview which is meant to insert and to deploy itself within an architectural in order to animate it. The installation proposes a degenerated form of tennis loaded by a canon ball. The machine propels balls on a meticulously calibrated trajectory in order to generate a space emulation.
The installation develops a kind of clinical juggling generated by a radical and mecanical purview... Among this perspective, the intervention questions notions of shifting process and network in order to produce an innovative plastic concretisation of circulation within a steady space.

I had a similar idea. My installation idea consists of a tennis ball machine (many) that shoot out tennis balls at the audience/visitor/viewer. Off course no one would get hurt as there would be a glass wall or netting as protection.
