Share//Trash Can Monday, December 21st, 2009

How long do you think it will take someone to rig this trash can up to a twitter account?

Share//Trash Can is a smart step-on trash can which includes a LED – live counter that counts the amount of steps that are stepped on the foot pedal.

“Both privately, and within our art practice, we love spatial challenges — so we were looking for somewhere we could apply the concepts we had been working with in our art,” Mr. Dragset said.

Behind the mezzanine office, a kitchen of stainless steel and wood provides room for the studio staff to have working lunches
