Joystick Envy
Mary Flanagan’s Joystick is bigger than yours! In fact it’s so big it takes two hands people to use it. This actual working 9ft Atari 2600 style joystick was created as an art piece to promote inter-personal communication by having people work together to control a game.
”[giantJoystick] requires players to collaboratively ‚Äòperform‚Äô their movements in order to engage with the game and thus makes them acknowledge not only the notion of shared space but also the necessity for shared strategies and approaches in order to pursue their goal.
It looks just slightly smaller than the original XBox controller…and lighter! I’ll take two please…
