THE VOTING MACHINE was an experiment in democracy carried out by a group of
20 students at UCLA's Design|Media Arts school in the Spring of 2008. The
students worked together for 8 weeks to produce a fully functional voting
machine comprised of 20 individual modules.
The modules communicated with one another through either physical or
electrical signals which carried a vote through all 20 modules until its
final destination where it was counted.
After many diplomatic and not so diplomatic discussions, two coalitions were
established and the final form and function of the machine fell into
place. On (date) the final product was successfully deployed in a race
between two entirely conceptual political parties, THE DREAMERS OF DECADANCE and the REDESIGNING HUMANS PARTY.
