Dispenser is an interactive street installation created to distribute tangible, ephemeral artifacts to the public. Housed in a vivid fluorescent green enclosure, it uses a pulsing white push button to invite interaction.

Powered by an internal battery, the unit pairs a microcontroller with a compact thermal receipt printer using standard paper rolls.

Pushing the button prints a receipt featuring one artwork from a collection of six original illustrations. The series includes varying levels of rarity, turning each interaction into a physical collectible roll.

Printed beneath each image is a prompt encouraging finders to frame their receipt and send in a photo to claim a reward.

Field Notes
Placed in public spaces, the installation allowed passersby to walk away with a small printed souvenir. Testing in the wild highlighted practical constraints: the lack of an automatic cutter required gentle handling, roll capacity was limited, and English instructions were sometimes overlooked.
