Art-0-Matic
Recently, on a trip to NYC we went to the Whitney Museum. We came across this machine called an Art-O-Mat. It’s an old cig machine that’s filled with cigarette-pack-sized art by art students and artists. Typically, it’s wooden block with art attached to either side, but sometimes it’s a sculpture carved from the block itself. You a buy a token to make it work. Check out the pics here.

This reminds of the coin operated pieces at the Teatro-Museo of Dali in Spain.
How much did the art cost you ?
Did you see the Art-o_mart site at http://www.artomat.org/home.html ?
