Labor Camp Message Force Multiplier Instruments
Custom built mechanical leaflet dispensers
Labor Camp Message Force Multiplier Instruments is an edition of 8 custom devices for mechanical dissemination of printed leaflets.
Designed and built in 2008 for the initial deployment during the ZERO1 festival in San Jose,
the dispensers continue their Multiplier tasks in a variety of situations and venues.
Two types of Multiplier boxes are designed to function both: outdoors (battery operated units),
and indoors (powered by AC current).
Each unit methodically releases leaflet sheets at an approximate rate of one sheet per 2.5 minutes.
Leaflets designed to the military standards of the "auto-rotator" type, gracefully descend to the ground, and are available to the public.
See links below for examples of Labor Camp leaflet designs utilized for the IF/THEN Projects.
