Like many people I’m working on my major art project for this one, and I could help noticing this piece by a student at the Plymouth College of Art- with the help of a friend for the coding, Ellie Harrison created a vending machine that dispenses an item from the machine every time the Economy takes a spell for the worse. Seems to work off the BBC News RSS feed which it then scans for story keywords, judging whether it is a economically-bad or good period in time. Very cool.

Here’s the Video Direct link, check out the Project Page, and this was unceremoniously nabbed from Giz.
