Sepak Takraw, a Sport of Airborne Athleticism (18 photos)

1 Comment

This year’s Southeast Asian Games are coming to a close today in Cambodia. One of the sports featured in the games is sepak takraw, also called chinlone or “kick volleyball.” It’s a team sport where players volley a small woven ball over a five-foot-high (1.52-meter-high) net using any body part except for their arms and hands. Players leap high into the air, launching themselves sideways or flipping upside down to kick, pass, or block the ball, their body repeatedly flying up and crashing back to the court. Gathered below are recent images of people playing sepak takraw in both stadiums and neighborhood courts.

1 Comment

Forget cautiously tiptoeing into the uncanny valley; Grimes is more than ready to live there. As legal and ethical questions regarding the use of AI-generated music—and writing itself, for that matter—flood the industry, Grimes’ approach has been diving headfirst into working with, not against, the technology, a…
