YOUR MONEY IS NO GOOD HERE (print) - 11” x 17”
YOUR MONEY IS NO GOOD HERE uses a simple interaction model. Participants interact with the sculpture by first inserting a coin of their choosing, which is immediately spit out and returned to them upon insertion. Subsequently, a receipt printer attached to the sculpture prints a record of the transaction, including the words “YOUR MONEY IS NO GOOD HERE” and a QR code. Participants who scan the code will be sent to a random non-monetary economic model. In this spirit, the work leverages existing paradigms and everyday interactions within capitalism to raise awareness of wildly different alternatives.
