INTANGIBLE GOODS – Art Vending Machine
Snack-sized psychology to nourish and normalise our mental health needs
Intangible Goods is a project by writer and artist Mark Starmach, that imagines what our psychological and emotional needs would look like if they were packaged up as hyper-convenient consumer goods.
From bags of 'Bravery' to candybars of 'Purpose', ten snack-sized products were developed from the ground-up to feed your psyche, not your sweet tooth - made with mental health professionals. The products contain everything from carefully developed written prompts, unusual interventions and exercises, to origami stars, maps and pencils, and are dispensed via a vending machine – all proceeds from sales at Western Sydney University were donated to Beyond Blue.
The art vending machine was presented at Bankstown (Milperra), Campbelltown, Hawkesbury, Kingswood, The MARCS Institute for Brain, Behaviour and Development (Westmead), Maldhan Ngurr Ngurra Lithgow Transformation Hub, Parramatta City – 1PSQ/Peter Shergold Building and Hassal Street, and Parramatta South.
