Software running is Shitwave by nitro2k01, Gameboy modified by NeX under my instructions.
Lights proivided by Marcus "Maggan" Olsson of Wang Electronics.
This installation was part of a 2 week project on Dômen art school in Gothenburg, Sweden.

Thought this might be interesting to some of you.

whoa cool.
can you tell us more about how the DMG was modified?
this is amazing. i'm loving it.
care to elaborate about the DMG modification for installation purposes?
Thank you.
There's an Arduino in there which is controlling the reset, fading backlight and overclock.
What's happening in detail is:
1) Reset
2) Boot - which is running at max clockrate (hence the high 'ping' in the beginning of the cycle)
3) Clockrate goes to lowest speed
4) Clockrate speeds up, together with the light fading in
5) Clockrate speeds up to the point of crashing
The Shitwave ROM is running from an EMS 64 USB cart.
Shitwave is what's generating the glitchy visuals. The screen flicker and tone change are bi-products of the overclocking though.
If you want to get really technical I suggest you ask NeX.
I'm sadly not good at building technical things like that.
I do know that the arduino is controlling the pitch bend and light using a photoresistor and an LED inside the case. Nifty!

indeed!
would you be interested in sharing the arduino script?
awesome work! it looks great all set up like that, as for the code, its really nothing much more complex than the arduino LED fade tutorial, i changed the curve of the fade to be more logarithmic and then there is the reset part at the beginning, but generally its very simple. if i had had more time to work on the project i would have used a digital pot and made it midi controllable
