Expanding the "mirror-reflective" nature of video through interactive media, fingering transforms the tabloid of gaze from a sinister seduction. It stages viewers to bridge the cinematic representation and their physical presence, which "kills". Interplay with the action genre in Hong Kong, the classic fatal kung-fu move of the index finger unfolds a cultural and sexual subtext. A Chinese woman holding a "finger-gun" aims at the moving viewer and will "fire" if the viewer stays completely still for more than 7 seconds in front of her. Nobody is hurt in the end but herself. The tragic representation through visual and audio effects relates the experiences of the psychological, the corporeal and the virtual landscape in digital technology.
