CIRCA 90 Art + Technology 1999

This is an excerpt from the full article on Ars Electronica by Paul O'Brien that can be found here

"There was also the truly horrific Dispersion by Eric Paulos, which, tongue-in-cheek (I hope) claims to be the first vending machine to automate the sale of biological pathogens--anthrax, smallpox, typhus, plague, etc. As the information sheet cheerfully recounts, "A video display shows eye-catching scenes of biological agent production, spawning, use, and consequences. These images are interspersed with 'fun disease' facts such as amount required to kill 1,000 people, expected time to live after first contact, testimonials, etc."
