Abstract

HWD (Hard-wired devices) Corporation is a collection of 100 electronic devices, each consisting of a travel alarm clock connected to a different game controller selected from the last 30 years of gaming culture. For each device a new interaction has been crafted by hard-wiring the functions of the alarm clock onto the digital switches of the controller. As a result the basic functionalities of the alarm clock set up time, set up alarm, light on and off, alarm off - can be controlled with the joysticks. This project is a journey through the history of game controllers, to celebrate both its revolutionary successes and remarkable failures.
