Playing…with your face

26 August 2009 | DesignMonitor | Comments Off


Artist Robbie Cooper filmed people playing at videogames. The work shows the reaction of the people which respond and react to the stimulus in a unique and personal way.

The concept has been recently used by Wieden+Kennedy Tokyo for the new Playstation 3 “Playface” campaign. The Playface: “It’s that face you make when you are playing video games and concentrating so much that you don’t even realize the kind of expressions you are making. And everyone has a different one.”
