You may have bought candy bars or bottled water from a coin-operated vending machine, but how about buying space-aged thermal underwear from a human vending machine? In promotion of Heat Tech innerwear, Uniqlo, a Japanese company, will be conducting this installment-art-meets-retail experience in New York’s Times Square.
"Basically we’re going to have two mimes: a male and a female mime inside the machine. And the public can see them through glass. When you get there, we’re going to have Uniqlo reps dressed in the silver bodysuits. And they’re going to hold a thermograph scanner — think of an airport security machine. The thermographer identifies cold spots in your body. After you go through that, you go to the vending machine and push a button and the mimes are going to do a synchronized choreographed routine and then your outfit comes out."
