Ellie Harrison - April 2009

Film documenting an installation at the Viewpoint Gallery, Plymouth College of Art, which resulted from my period as ‘artist in residence’ at the college in 2009.

An old vending machine is reprogrammed to only release packets of crisps when news relating to the recession makes the headlines on the BBC News RSS feed

    Haha, I guess the people losing their jobs at the engineering firm could use a free bag of crisps... I could see the dispensing getting even more particular, with certain colored bags of crisps being connected to news about particular industries, or perhaps different takes on the economic situation. "Only two green bags left? I guess the auto companies aren't doing so well today. It's a shame, because I really don't care for Salt & Vinegar flavored crisps."
