The Chad Kouri Art for All project infuses digital technologies into the art vending process. In place of storefront retail is Koury's use of text messages delivering images of virtual pieces.
Those on the receiving end of text messages sent to a specific phone number have the choice to either purchase or peruse the creative items. If a particular piece is selected, buyers will be able to customize the designs according to size.
Those who opt to simply look at the mobile snapshot will still get the chance to take in the messaged artwork. This follows up on Kouri's belief in the importance of keeping parts of this project free, allowing anyone to partake in the service.
