Since you wont really be able to tell what content will be on which channel, I have created a channel directory on channel 00. Right now there is only 50 channels, but that might be enough for an exhibition space. It is based on the index used in the old Teletext/Ceefax system.
Done! It includes the locks & keys for the maintenance & cash box.
A great documentary series about the way the internet has affected everyday life for the past 20 years. The third program of the series is the most appropriate for my project as it talks about what people actually "pay" for when they are getting free services from companies such as Google & Amazon. Just imagine what it would be like if the web was never free...
To make the Observer look like it has been mass manufactured, I have created an information plate (which will be located behind the cash box door) with data such as serial number, model, etc. I am thinking about somehow stamping the serial number into the body of the viewer, but this might prove to be too difficult.
I have decided that I will simply call the viewer "Observer" as it allows people to watch different content without direct influence on it & that it is quite a frequently used word in the names of newspapers (which are being destroyed by the internet). Done!
To make the object more believable, I have made keyrings for the cash box & maintenance hatch locks. They would be on sets of keys that the observer engineers would use to empty the coin box & open the unit (for equipment testing & repairs) with. I lasercut the logo on to acrylic sheets, trying the design on both the glossy & matte sides - the glossy side worked better.
Just a quick look of the product with the logo - I think it looks pretty good!
