  • On Friday 12 January 2018, curators Julie Freeman and Hannah Redler Hawes left work at London's Open Data Institute confident that, come Monday morning, there would be a few packets of crisps in the office. Artist Ellie Harrison's Vending Machine (2009) sits in the ODI's kitchen, one of the older exhibits acquired over the institute's five-year programme celebrating "Data as Culture". It has been hacked to dispense a packet of salty snacks whenever the BBC's RSS feed has a news item containing financial misfortune. Co-curator Freeman is a data artist herself. You may have seen her naked mole rat surveillance project at last year's New Scientist Live. The 7.5 million data points acquired by the project are now keeping network analysts busy at Queen Maw University of London.
