Pentapong

Pentapong is a creation of the contemporary artist Djeff and was designed with Michel Davidov (Atelier de Recherche Interactive, Ensad). This project explores the concept of multi-player based on the architecture of the pentagon. Each player can join a game in progress and take control of the racket in front of him. Pentapong can be played with up to 5 players and when a player leaves the game the automatic mode takes over. In this pentagonal configuration, a new racket rotation function has been implemented, the ball can be directed to aim at a particular opponent.

The display is accompanied by a showcase of 1st generation Pong consoles, a text by Jean Zeid on the origins of Pong and a quiz on the origins of the video game (by QR-code).
