nike's world cup ball man
image: nike
as part of their presence at the recently closed world cup, nike created a 21 meter installation using over
5,500 soccer balls. the ‘ball man’ as they called it weighed over 4.5 tons and was hung from the ceiling
in johannesburg’s carlton centre. the sculpture was made by transforming a 3-d image of a soccer player
into a pixilated representation. these pixels were represented by yellow balls which were hung from
cables. the installation took 3 weeks to complete and will be on show until august. once dismantled
the balls will all be donated to the local community.
