Atari 2600
\nPaddle control (1972)<\/a><\/p>\n

Osterizer Blender
\n8 speeds
\nPurchased on or about 2002<\/p>\n

Inspired on artist work…<\/p>\n

I wanted to use the controller in something other than a game, or replicating a game.
\nI thought of connecting the controller to the laptop and use it as a switch control to play\/ff\/rew DVDs.
\nHowever, I chose to do this blender switch project instead, because I was curious to see if I could replicate the pictures we saw in class and make it work in real life.
\nAlso, it seemed to be a project I could tackle and complete on my own and in the timeframe we had for the assignment. <\/p>\n
