What
An alternative team sport game where the ball is replaced by a coil of yarn.
Why
The game gives a certain agency to the ball which becomes an autonomous object on the field, the deciding factor in the temporality of the game. Once the yarn is completely unwound, the game is over.
How
The players are throwing a ball of yarn between each other. It rolls on the floor, it leaps from hand to hand, and all the while drawing a graph of the different interactions. In this situation, the ball becomes a sociogram, where the unwinding string maps the action of the players, revealing the different teams. Unlike a conventional ball, yarn follows its own logic by flying in an unexpected direction depending on the tension of the string.
