Carlin Wing is an artist, media scholar, and assistant professor and chair of media studies at Scripps College. Her current book project, “Bounce: A History of Balls, Walls, and Gaming Bodies,” follows an array of bouncing balls through the histories of electronic and nonelectronic games, across the spectrum of play, game, and sport, and into the domains of physics, material science, animation, and computing. Playing Along, her ongoing collaboration with musician John Dieterich about the possibilities and politics of soccer, most recently involved an improvised musical performance to the live broadcast of the Sweden–Germany FIFA Women’s World Cup quarterfinal game.
