Nikita Lukyanov
Ping Pong Head
(2021)
“This art object was invented and made by me six months ago, at the same time the idea was born to make a video about the racket, in which Misha, in the guise of a professor, will talk about it as a scientific development, with drawings and a theoretical explanation. Then we came up with a practical part in the laboratory, where we test the racket for different indicators: accuracy, speed and show how it helps to defeat different opponents.” — Nikita Lukyanov
