Sega Saturn flight stick transformed into a robo bug photo

See that robo-looking bug thing above? That used to be a Sega Saturn flight joystick, the Mission Stick. Remember those? I know! Holy sh*t, right?

This is the work of artist James Killinger, a designer/artist and a student at New York's Pratt Institute. This bug was part of an assignment, which was to take something apart and create something new with the pieces. He took the used controller and made a robo bug? Jesus. That's like making art with art. Sad he had to sacrifice a perfectly nice Mission Stick, though.

You can see more shots of James' work here.
