Keeping To A "Do Not Make Yourself A Target", Theme,

this is one cash point many would avoid like the plague, 

it is a cash point that not only informs you of your balance, it shows it for all of the world, well at least those near the screen how much money you have in your account, and not only does it tell anyone that is looking your balance it also shows a photograph of you, the cynical, (like me) would say to making you easy to identify and rob later, the machine was developed by New York-based art collective MSCHF in collaboration with Perrotin Gallery, ATM Leaderboard is an artistic project inspired that, just as its name suggests, displays the cash balances of anyone who uses it like the high scores of a classic arcade game, depending on the size of their bank accounts. It was inspired by the wealth-flaunting trends of modern influencers who use their apparent wealth for fame and social media followers, so if you want to let your followers know how much you are worth, pop over to Art Basel Miami Beach and use their unique ATM machine to have your account balance featured on its leaderboard for everyone to see, “‘ATM Leaderboard’ is an extremely literal distillation of wealth-flaunting impulses,” Daniel Greenberg, co-founder of MSCHF, told CNN. “From its conception, we had mentally earmarked this work for a location like Miami Basel, a place where there is a dense concentration of people renting Lamborghinis and wearing Rolexes. These are analogous implicit gestures to the ATM Leaderboard’s explicit one.” those brave enough to use the ATM Leaderboard at Art Basel Miami Beach should know that their faces and account balances will remain in the machine’s memory as it makes subsequent appearances at other art shows in the future, so use it at your own risk, well no risk to us, anyone with a negative balance is well down on a muggers wish list! As it happens the most ‘well endowed’ user of the ATM Leaderboard was a bearded man in a pink t-shirt with a bank account balance of over $2.9 million, but the machine was only installed on December 1st, so the rankings could change, I have just read the final top score was $9.5 million, I hope whoever it was has a bodyguard, (who can be trusted!).
