THIS IS NOT A BALL

A documentary about the ball. 

In anticipation of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, This is not a Ball is a documentary that investigates the meaning of the ball and our passion and innate connection to it. The documentary culminates with the making of a large-scale physical drawing composed of 10,000 soccer balls.

Drawing is designed with custom C++ software and assembled by a team of untrained volunteers from the local community, following simple and human readable computer instructions.
