[Frameworks] doc/exp sports film suggestions

[Eric Theise]

I really liked Miguel Angel Rios' trompos pieces, e.g., A Morir (Till
Death), which I think I first saw installed at Site Santa Fe. Here's an
excerpt: https://youtu.be/00PPJmXmeoQ

Lee Walton made a number of funny often smart performance videos dealing
with sports when he lived in San Francisco and I think it's still an
interest of his. In one, he purchased a heavy barbell weight at a downtown
sports store and lugged it six miles through hilly San Francisco to another
location near the Pacific Ocean where he returned it.

In another, he lurked at the track at Kezar Stadium in Golden Gate Park,
and when causal joggers were approaching the finish line he'd burst out
running to pass them just in time to "win" a race; their reactions ranged
from surprise to not even noticing.

And there was Last Place: The Walton Derby

Probably other good examples on his website that I don't know.
