Roger Ibars loves joysticks and he loves creating works exploring the facets of control, so he merged the two into a body of work called Hard-Wired Devices. Starkly beautifully and functionally perverse, it's an intriguing collection that's well worth your time. If you really like the series, you can purchase the first via eBay.
Those wanting to know more should check out Gizmondo's interview with Ibars, and most certainly wander over to his self-made site for some additional (but non-joystick oriented) works.

As awesome as it looks, I don't get the function of the controllers/light guns and the clocks.

I think it's to activate the 'snooze'.
At least, that's what I'd use it for!
