ArtPrize 2014: Does Capitalism Work For You?

Steve Lambert is bringing new life to ArtPrize debates with his piece that asks visitors to share their thoughts on capitalism.

Steve Lambert's "Capitalism Works For Me" can be seen at Kendall College of Art and Design at ArtPrize 2014.

"Capitalism Works For Me" is having success in the time-based category. The entry is on the Juror's Shortlist and (at last check) is also in the public's Top 25.

Visitors are asked to share whether or not capitalism works for them by choosing which button to press, either "true" or "false". A new vote may be cast every 10 seconds.

Lambert explains how he hopes his entry will open the door to new discussions. "Start a conversation about capitalism and friends edge away slowly, and strangers even faster. This is what art is for. This is what art does well. It creates a space where new ideas and perspectives can be explored."

What's the vote total?

That's anyone's guess, since the tally resets to zero after 999.
