Garbage Thoughts is an interactive sculpture with a social component. Styled after the famous three-stream garbage bins used by businesses and institutions, the user is invited to identify, inventory, and (hopefully) dispose of the thoughts that persist yet have no use: The “garbage thoughts” we carry with us.
The graphics prompt users to reflect on the categories of thoughts that burden them. The provided pens and post cards enable users to write down and dispose of these thoughts, clearing their mind to make room for better things.

I used a CNC to cut identical pieces for all three bins. Paths were created with Adobe Illustrator, and then converted to g-code using Rhino.

After cutting panels with CNC, I painted the exterior facing panels to match with the graphic’s color schemes

This is a play test for an interactive sculpture. Mar-a-Lago Mini Golf is packed with whoopee cushions and an easily avoidable tripwire — setting off a small .22 caliber powder load. With a theme inspired by our current administration, it is a blend of awkward physical comedy, frustration and embarrassment, punctuated by brief moments of terror.
