Literature machine
The literature machine is a converted cigarette machine , filled with small text boxes that contain poetry and prose.
history
The idea of the literary vending machine goes back to the author Pamela Granderath and Christine Brinkmann (Kulturzentrum zakk, Düsseldorf) in 2006 and is based on the motto “culture instead of cigarette”. Every eight weeks the converted cigarette machines are filled with small text boxes by unknown and well-known authors and can then be purchased for two euros each, like cigarette boxes. The texts are not limited to any type of text, but for reasons of space they are limited to approx. 3200 characters. Well-known authors and artists such as Sebastian 23 , Safiye Can , Nora Gomringer , Theresa Hahl , the Brothers Keepers , Matthias Reuter , Martin Sonneborn , Sven-André Dreyer and Angela Litschev have already contributed to the literary machine with their texts. Hobby authors can also apply for inclusion in one of the machines; around one hundred (2008) to two hundred (2012) authors per year take up this call. Over three hundred and fifty boxes have already been produced.
Locations
Literature vending machines are or were in Düsseldorf , Bochum , Dresden , Leipzig , Wuppertal , Stuttgart , Münster , Remscheid , Essen , Bad Godesberg , Krefeld , Regensburg as well as in Dornbirn , Venlo and Thessaloniki . Further machines are being planned.
