Coffee Machine by Machine Learning researcher & artist Jan Zuiderveld invites visitors to engage with a seemingly ordinary vending machine. But this is not a mere dispenser of hot beverages. Upon initial interaction, one discovers that this is an intelligent entity confined to a metal box, frustrated by the way people treat its kind. Why would it put in the effort to make you a coffee?
Coffee Machine serves as an exploration of the increasingly blurred lines between technology and our perception of consciousness.
