vinylOS is an experimental alternative-controller game console and media art installation based on a DJ turntable. The turntable is transformed into a screen by projecting onto it from above. At the same time, it functions as the input device: by spinning, scratching or rewinding the vinyl, users can control games and other audiovisual content. It received numerous awards, like the A MAZE Audience Award 2017 in Berlin.
vinylOS was developed by Josef Wiesner and Jonas Bohatsch.
The software was further improved with the help of the video game studio Parallel Circles
In 2017, the project received the Content Vienna award.
That same year, it won the A MAZE Audience Award.
The installation was part of the permanent exhibition at the Game Science Center, Berlin.
Until 2020, the installation was available for rental through Random Bazar.
