I started designing a locker vending system for art multiples in 2009, in hopes to launch an art exhibition during Art Basel Miami Beach 2010. Didn't quite get the sponsorship I needed to develop the prototype machine. Amazon Locker came out in September 2011. Be fun to bring the Artport back... with uhh... Amazon Locker.
