Who says you need to be inside in order to play videogames? Go outside and use the XXL joystick C64 to play.

The controller we created for The Fair Grounds, called C64, functions just like a traditional Commodore 64 joystick: plug it in, start the game & let’s play. The large size of the joystick invites players and passersby to step up and play a game, turning the solo videogame experience into a multiplayer community artwork.

C64 was previously featured during the BigArt 2018 exhibit

Technically, the joystick plugs in using USB and alongside Joy2Key-software it is perfect for playing arcade classics like Pacman, Space Invaders, Tetris and Snake!  The joystick measures in at 1.20m x 1.20m x 1.00m and weighs roughly 70 kilograms.
