Biographical Information: Electric Field uses the universally beautiful geometry of the football to contain the dynamic of the game by showing many different strategic movements experienced during a game. Theese field actions are represented by symbols of the players in the form of geometric shapes and lines of light which connect them. (Oppenheim, 2006)
