I’mHyojung Seo is a media artist and an Associate Professor at Samsung Art and Design Institute. She creates interactive performance works through installations and various platforms of communication that allows human to seek media as the new sense, or sixth sense that goes beyond our five senses. The process and methods in the works are a crucial part of her creative practice. She has many interesting works, but I really admire this work called “rock scissors paper game with face” (2014). Using FaceOSC and ofxFaceTracker(byKyle Mcdonald) from Github, she figured out the data of getting user’s expression. Then she made a face version of Rock-Paper-Scissors game, where to represent Paper – you have to open your mouth big, for Scissors – wide lips, and for Rock – bigger face (meaning your face should be closer to the camera). Rock-Paper-Scissors game is known has a game of luck; but she advised that this game is more about the effort because you have to change your face intensely to make the right sign.
