Blake Fall-Conroy, Minimum Wage Machine, 2008-2010 This machine allows anyone to work for minimum wage for as long as they like.  Turning the crank on the side releases one penny every 4.97 seconds, for a total of $7.25 per hour.  This corresponds to minimum wage for a person in New York.   This piece is brilliant on multiple levels, particularly as social commentary.  Without a doubt, most people who started operating the machine for fun would quickly grow disheartened and stop when realizing just how little theyre earning by turning this mindless crank.  A person would then conceivably realize that this is what nearly two million people in the United States do every day&at much harder jobs than turning a crank.  This turns the piece into a simple, yet effective argument for raising the minimum wage.    Here’s a piece that another artist is working on that could also help inspire change in the U.S. government.  He’s trying to raise money to send every U.S. Senator a copy of Dr. Seuss’ “The Zax.”  They clearly should have paid more attention to stories about compromise like this in kindergarten.  Indiegogo.com/TheZaxProject.
