Dot, a videogame with no winner

“DOT, a videogame with no winner” is an audio-visual performance played with a videogame console, constructed and reprogrammed, manipulated through joysticks. This contemporary, original instrument is autonomous. Several people from the audience are invited to take part directly during the concert and become player-actors. Each part of the performance is produced in real time, no sound is pre-recorded, they are the result of the interactions between the artist and the five player-actors invited.
