Timeless Moment is an interactive bus ticket dispenser. Inspired by my personal encounter with a resident’s dedicated collection of uniquely numbered old bus tickets, the frosted acrylic machine incorporates sensors to dispense and retract a golden ticket with ones' approach.
Oscillating between the audience and machine, the ticket remains unattainable, placing the participant in a constant state of disappointment and unfulfillment, ultimately questioning the significance of our actions, our lives.
