nishant jethi: the clenoscope


'cleanoscope', mumbia, india


littering is a hard-to-change habit. the challenge was to make people throw waste into the trash. turning to the kaleidoscope for reference,
the act of throwing garbage is now fun. when you place the unwanted objects into the container, it creates a beautiful pattern.
experimenting with user interaction, the product was placed in a public setting in a children's park in mumbai, india.


 
collects 13 kilos of trash



interior kaleidoscope effect

Just a few thoughts before everyone gets carried away... Two things become immediately apparent:

1. Most trash cans I have seen and used have been filled to the brim the vast majority of the time, rendering this idea useless.

2. If the trash can was to be emptied on a frequent basis, then the remaining dried liquid stains would cloud the mirrors further minimizing the kaleidoscopic effect.

This reminds me of those 'fun' initiatives from VW a few years ago. When applied to long-term, everyday use, fatal flaws quickly form in the logic and undermine any value provided by the added gimmick.
