NOTAMATIK

WHAT IS IT?

The NOTAMTIK is a wooden vending machine that is part vending machine of art, part performance piece, and part conversation about what it means to make things by hand in an increasingly automated world.

I sit inside, creating small artworks from a combined series of elements - the selection of which is made by participants. Each piece is unique.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

1 .Participants select one of element from three different categories (i.e. background, subject matter, inscription).

2. While participants watch my hands through the window, I assemble the elements in a way that feels the most interesting and special, based on the selections.

3. I vend the finished artwork through the receiving window.

NOTAMATIK

I am not a machine and neither are you.

We are unpredictable and imperfect,

not entirely knowable.

Our inefficiency is beautiful and soft.

We hold memories loosely, stirring together

knowledge with the ether of dreams,

and have more questions than answers.

So, in this modern world, Dear One,

Go gently.

(poem included with each dispensed artwork)

HIRE ME + THE MACHINE

Are you planning a special party (birthday, graduation, holiday, bon voyage, business, or?) or hosting a public event? You can hire me and the machine to create art for your guests!

I can provide my own assortment of creative elements or work with you to create something special just for your event. The artworks can be quick and accessible for all ages or more complicated and detailed.

Prices are based on travel time, customization of elements, quantity of finished pieces, and vending time. I’m a real reasonable person. Let’s talk!
