PS3 Pad
I had to include this object because gaming has been apart of my whole life, I have always followed gaming from its early retro stages to the new modern technology of today. I have seen them grow more mature in the story telling, I have seen them turn in to online communities were you can talk to any one around the world while playing, they have come a long way from where they started and with that the culture has changed with it. They used to be associated as child's play but now there are many adults experiencing them to. This object is a symbol for all that history, I wish I had the time to dig out the older pads that I have but I have included some images from the web.
You can see how they have changed with the times and technology you could also say that the style of the times can be seen in each of the pads designs. The Nes pad originated from the 80's where the technology was in its infancy. so the simple design was cutting edge at that time. and when you look through to the more modern PS3 Pad the design is more clearly modern, the pad has been designed to fit in your hand better the controls are touch sensitive and moving the actual pad like tilting acts as a control. Gaming has also influenced my art work as well, I admire the imaginative thinking that goes into creating a game, and would love to be part of that one day. |
