For its annual American Express Fan Experience, Momentum invited us to help transform fans’ tennis swings into generative art with two distinct installations.

Art & Sound of Tennis

At the “Art & Sound of Tennis” installation, we customized tennis racquets with motion sensors for participants to swing as a crowd of spectators looked on. Each swing simultaneously generated stunning tennis-themed visuals and sound on a 30’ LED screen.

Using a custom app and real-time image processing, we created digital portraits of every participant with their unique creation, enabling their artful swings to live on in social media and beyond.

Swing Analysis

At the more intimate “Swing Analysis” session, card members met with a pro instructor, and then showed off their improved swing for a one-of-a-kind portrait session. Stroboscopic lighting and high-speed photography captured the path of their swings, appearing as trails of lights thanks to a custom-built LED racquet.
