Ping Pong Noh

This video of "Matrix Ping Pong" is just plain fun. It's also a testimony to the power of the game, the imagination, the medium, and the very soul of theater. It's not really a game of ping pong. It's a fantasy - a game of ping pong as if it were played in the fantastic world of the Matrix movies where people can hang in mid air and slow time while they pursue what has become the new cinematic martial art of "Wire Fu." And it's done in the seven-century-old theater art of Japanese Noh!

This little video is a classic example of the Art of Fun - an art that can span time, medium and culture.

On the other hand, if you need a little actual interaction, try this sweet little Shockwavey Noh-body version of ping pong. Noh-body because it's just two paddles playing against each other. And you're one of them.

Be careful, as the Art of Fun requires, the game is a lot more life-like than you'd expect.
