Artist Lara Luna Bartley and technologist and Pervasive Media Studio resident Peter Bennett have been awarded Arts Council funding to create the Autonomous Teller Machine. This temporary participatory intervention in the form of an ATM will mark ten years since the global financial crisis and bailouts which followed, by inviting audiences to reflect on this historic event. It will do so by dispensing questions through a receipt printer which participants can answer via a keypad. These will range from the quizzical “what was the size of the biggest bonus awarded to a UK banker the year following the great global financial crisis?”  to the absurd “are you to big to fail?”.

This workshop is an opportunity for you to trial the ATM and offer critical feedback on the piece. There is no need book or to come for the whole two hours, you can drop in and there will be tea and coffee provided.

If you are unable to attend, but want to contribute to the list of questions the ATM might ask please do so via this google form.   

The piece will be exhibited as part of the Moneytree Exhibition at Hamilton House and at the Plymouth Art Weekender this September.
