I’ve started making what I “joy machines” that I am putting up in or near my neighborhood. They’re some combination of public interactive art (e.g. push a button and it prints out a compliment) and little art on display that I design and 3D print for people to take.


I'm intrigued and need to see some images or videos now.


Here’s the initial post about! https://www.instagram.com/p/DUeWPKPEqQB/?igsh=bjJiM3VlM3ZxZ3...

I have this delusion of grandeur about starting a movement to take all of the mostly-idle 3D printers in people’s homes and to use them to create little tokens of joy in people’s neighborhoods.


Very cool! Any links to posts about some of them?


See my reply above!
