DESCRIPTION:
What a long way this invention has come! With our ever-growing desire to eliminate the cashier from the retail equation Vending Machines: Coined Consumerism documents the journey vending machines have made from ancient Greece to the consumer environments of today.. A holy water dispenser in ancient Greece serves as the first known historical reference to a vending machine
Soft Drinks, Gumballs, & Gold Bars Vending Machines: Coined Consumerism is more coffee table art book than the social history of vending machines the product description led me to expect. It's a curious book, both in the sense that it's hard to pigeonhole and that it looks at vending machines in original ways.Some of the photographers/artists see the machines as futuristic and daring, such as the machines that vend tiny original artworks or the machines that are more performance art than public convenience.. "'Change is inevitable - except from a vending machine.'" according to Grady Harp. Though this wise book exploring the iconography and history of vending machines form the early forms in ancient Greece to the proliferation of the fantastical inventions of today is printed as yet another evidence of the art of graphic design by Mark Batty Publisher, VENDING MACHINES: COINED CONSUMERISM, in the informed hands of writer Christopher D Salyers is more a statement of our obsession with instant gratification. Have a need? Look around and find a freestanding mac. Helle Abild Ulstrup said truly special. I love everything about vending machines and the siruations around them, the grafics, the user experience and this book does too.
