Roger Ibars knows that the clock is ticking on traditional video game controllers and therefore created this art exhibit to demonstrate this idea.
Featuring 100 different hand-held controllers connected to alarm clocks, the Roger Ibars exhibit allows you to see a variety of video game controllers that you may have never known existed. The clock may be ticking on hand-held video game controllers, but it is still fun to look through this exhibit to remember a simpler time.
