As a lead up to the Beijing Summer Olympics 2008, three uniformed table tennis players will pull a custom built table tennis table around the streets and public spaces of five British cities. Strengthened for purpose and fitted with a towbar for ease of pulling, the table is a specially designed art object constructed by sculptor John Packer (www.johnpacker.com) out of recycled bicycle parts. On the table’s surface is an abstracted global map transforming both its journey through the city and each match played into a community performance event. This is the launch tour of the Global Player project which is primed to reach all corners of the globe in the next 4 years. Visit www.blindditch.org/globalplayer for details of stats and video highlights.
