I love it that one of the artists is a Dane. Years and years ago, it seems I read of a related attraction at Copenhagen’s Tivoli Gardens. Visitors could pay admission to enter a room and smash crockery.
Jon and I just do this at home, which is much less festive. Then we have to go to WalMart or Pier One and buy replacements. On the whole, I’d rather go to Denmark.
When I first saw this post, I nearly hyperventilated with excitement. But when I realized it is an art installation rather than a real vending machine, I got very sad. I’m just now coming out of it.
But that would be another art project. I want there to be real vending machines, in places like Wal Mart and hospitals, where people can pay $3 to watch a glass fall and break. I’d just stand there all day, paying and breaking.

Cindy, it seems like a half dozen trips to ebay and a couple hundred dollars could make this happen. Let’s do this.
Hell, I probably have all the stuff on hand already. I probably even have an old vending machine around here somewhere….
Let’s put it on your (or someone in your neighborhood’s) front porch, plug it in with an extension cord, advertise, and make a short film out of it.

my heart says we can make this happen.
I trust your heart.
