‘Keep the Change’ is an experiential design intervention to target the connection recession in modern society. Acting as a multifunctional community noticeboard, the project aims to bring communities together in collaboration with the World Kindness Movement and The Co-op Bank.
By identifying the downward trend in societal togetherness, the concept is focused around transactional kindness being a leading cause for the decline in togetherness. To emphasise the metaphor of transactionality, the initiative manifests itself inside repurposed ATM machines. This not only helps tackle the environmental problem of their disposal due to their general redundancy in modern society, but gives them a new and more permanent lease of life.
