Hulachess

This video has been shortlisted for Guggenheim YouTube Play! See the shortlist at youtube.com/play. Hulachess explores themes of multitasking, the feminine, circular side of chess and the surprising parallels between chess and hooping. The chess moves are based on a game Duchamp lost against the Romanian master Davidescu. The video features a possible improvement by Duchamp, which would have led the game to perpetual check.

The video, created by chess champion and artist Jennifer Shahade and filmmaker Daniel Meirom, features Shahade playing red and choreographer & dancer Gabrielle Revlock playing White. Cinematography by Blake Eichenseer. More info on http://jennifershahade.com

Wow this is the weirdest thing I've seen in a while.

Very cool!!! Obviously much better than chess boxing. Getting your ears boxed cannot be good for your chess short or long term. Good artistic work on the video too.
