LIPSTRIKE

2017
Performance online
        Hacked Lipstick, Counter-Strike Offensive, vidéoprojecteur



Lipstrike is the contraction between lipstick and Counter Strike and means to strike/attack/dismantle/meet/light/play with the lips. Created in resonance with the GamerGate controversy and addressing sexism in video games, Lipstrike is a live performance streamed on the TWITCH platform, during which a performer uses a lipstick connected to the computer as a controller to play Counter-Strike . Used during the game, the contact between the skin and the lipstick is like pressing the trigger.
