Snow Machines
In: Public Projects
The gunmetal grey cups in the closed position are camouflaged in the urban landscape, but any participant who opens them to use the machine, will be surprised by the candy-colored interiors, which reference playgrounds and encourage mischievous action. Three Snow Machines were installed for two weeks in the winter of 2009 throughout the city of Chicago - one green, one yellow, one red - each bearing a sticker describing how to properly use the machine.
