Noisy Table

Noisy Table is the first of the Contemporary Arts Festival 2014 Play Time installations.

Created by artist Will Nash, Noisy Table is programmed with a library of digital instruments and samples. The vibrations created when the ball hits the table are turned into sounds, which are then broadcast live back into the game. Nash describes Noisy Table as "an alter-table-tennis experience" that breaks down traditional barriers of art. He says: "People can feel intimidated when they are asked to join in by an artist, but they don't even think about that with table tennis. They just pick up the bat and start playing."

It will launch on 3 October with live music and DJs, and a ping pong tournament will run while the table is in situ.
