I’m loving (in that “I appreciate its artistic merits” way, not in the “making so little money is awesome” way) this “minimum wage machine” created by artist Blake Fall-Conroy. You can check it out here. This description comes from his website:
The minimum wage machine allows anybody to work for minimum wage. Turning the crank will yield one penny every 5.04 seconds, for $7.15 an hour (NY state minimum wage). If the participant stops turning the crank, they stop receiving money. The machine’s mechanism and electronics are powered by the hand crank, and pennies are stored in a plexiglas box.
