This project aims to bring attention about recycling habits by hacking existing trashs bins. We found an old bin at Dublin streets that had been abondoned many years ago and was not in use any more. We converted it into a recycling bin with a touch of technology. We installed sensors to measure the amount of recycling material going inside the bin and to react when someone approaches to it. The bin interacts with people when they recycle and, at night time, it shows the visualization of the information prevously collected by the sensors.
The project was deveploped at the "Interactivos?12 Dublin" workshop organized by Medialab-Prado Madrid and Science Gallery Dublin. Both institutions are members of the StudioLab European Group. The workshop was carried out at the Science Gallery in Dublin.
Team Members: Martina Kalogjera, Joaquín Rodríguez, Charlotte Barrois de Sarigny, Reza Safavi, Evangelos Kapros, Javier VIllarroel.
