What is Chester Choiceworth?

Chester Choiceworth is an interactive installation that turns your spending habits into a playful but slightly uncomfortable mirror. By uploading your monthly transaction record, the system generates two things: (1) a digital receipt summarizing what you spent and where, and (2) a stream of targeted 'lifestyle suggestions' printed on a physical receipt printer. The tone is fake-friendly, like a personal financial assistant that thinks it knows who you are and what kind of life you deserve.

Next Iteration

Turn this into a physical cardholder that could detect the frequency of using cards and maybe the location of using it. Which feels more like the relationship of how close our data is detected.
