Art-o-mat

The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas features six Art-o-mat machines, each of which dispenses a variety of original artwork. Created by artist Clark Whittington, Art-o-mat machines are made from cigarette vending machines that have been repurposed as a vehicle to distribute art to the masses. Over 90 Art-o-mat machines are currently in existence, featuring small works of art by more than 400 artist collaborators. Each piece of Art-o-mat art is boxed and wrapped in cellophane inside of the recycled cigarette machine. Artwork is distributed to the guest via a pull-knob dispensing mechanism, exactly like old-fashioned cigarette vending machines.
