and recycling bin for new york city 

 

Auslober:

Valiant Technology

This is BINary CODEy and it is very hungry. It eats its way through New York City, always looking for binary waste, which is lurking at every corner and in every apartment. Its yellow signal colour makes it easy to spot this central collection point for waste from the entire city. The grid of the city is its area of action. Positioned at prominent locations, it is waiting for the waste of our time. Its logo is its agenda. Just like PACMAN, its sole interest is eating.

 

As a homage to the computer-era, it is designed to remind of the roots of modern technology, as everyone knows PACMAN. Constructed from plastic, it features all options of a modern waste bin. It is lockable, indestructable and can be emptied mechanically. Its sphere-like-corpus can sit computer- and monitor-sized equipment. Even small items, such as DVU or batteries, can be disposed of easily. Big Apple is ready for BINary CODEys, so feed’em.
