Except you discover the A button. It will allow the visitor to stop (and save) what the camera sees when you don't try to look in the screen with the torch light. E.g. it is possible to put your own head into good light to shoot a well exposed image. Nevertheless you are not able to judge live about the quality of the photo everybody is used to with a regular smartphone camera in a selfie situation nowadays. You are forced to rely on your feeling and this oldschool digital technique. Also the visitor will get asked for his will to save the picture. A decision is necessary to conntinue the selfie fun. Answering "yes" results in storing the picture inside the Gameboy without ever being able to see it again, because the B button does not work which is necessary to enter the gallery mode. Luckily afterwards the visitor can continue doing selfies. This is also possible with the answer of "no". The only difference is, that the pictures you shoot are not getting into the hands of the owner of the Gameboy Color.

GENERATIONENKONFLIKT is both a humorous trip to the more obscure inventions of the 80s and 90s and a critical view on internet culture and data privacy today. Visitors might not know all the products used in this installation, because they are too young, too old or just not part of the target group of the product. This creates a certain basis for discourse, investigation and refelction of the past. But besides no matter which generation you belong to the hole installation works as simple metaphor for the modern digital culture and can help to understand certain mechanisms and problems in a very educative and accessible way.
