A ride-type arcade game that uses the audience’s facial expressions as input. Set in the box seats found in public transportation and restaurants, this ‘face game’ allows the audience to progress through scenes by communicating with on-screen digital humans using their facial expressions. In urban life, where physical and mental states are often arbitrarily quantified, training through exaggerated facial expressions could become a form of fitness exercise for the impending future, a way of conditioning the body to align with technology.
