Art vending machines
Art-o-mat machines are vintage cigarette machines that have been converted to sell bits of art for $5 to $7. More than 70 machines around the US (and one in England) sell original artworks like tiny sculptures and paintings by a stable of 400 artists. Artist Clark Whittington has been deploying the Art-o-mats for nearly a decade. This one is at Governors State University in Illinois.Link (Thanks, Lindsay Tiemeyer!)
