"GAMEFACE" is a collection of gamers' portraits collected by eclectic/electric cool hunters Studio Kinglux, located in Birmingham, UK. As Lili Weiss & Tony Hill write, "We had been inspecting the vague, blank, expressions of gamers in a kind of narcissistic feedback loop. We had been staring at a computer screen, looking at people, staring at computer screens....[...] These then, are the portraits of electronic decision making and digital vacancy. Binary boredom meets crucial concentration. The look is always Gameface. A description found on an internet chat forum that describes the look of intense concentration on a person playing a video game." (Studio KingLux)
