The trash-can I have designed uses turbines to randomise "design junk" or ideas. A central turbine is housed within a irregular shaped module. Trash placed into the centre of the turbine will allow junk to be rearranged randomly in the outer module.
Each module would belong to a person where he/she can store their junk.
With this type of random access, the user will hopefully bump into old ideas which may have been forgotten or supposedly lost and inspire them now, in the present. But this is not the only outcome that I would like to achieve
These modules would preferably be placed in groups where each module stacked together. Thus all junk in the centre turbine area will be rearranged randomly and each person may end up with someone elses junk.
The purpose of this randomization is for each individual to evaluate and consider other people's ideas in hope of generating new outcomes. By having access to other people's ideas, these ideas can be evaluated with a different perspective and return to the owner as an old idea but with new value.
"Design Junk" is placed into the centre of the turbine which is then spun at high speeds causing this junk to elevate, rotate and settle in the outer shell compartments centripetally and randomly.
Each module can be stacked on top each other to create groups (preferably 5 modules to a group). Due to this modular system new combinations can be created as each module is not fixed to a specific group, thus a network of ideas can be created as each module travels to various groups throughtout a area. Turbines are connected via pins in order for them to rotate simultaneously when each module is stacked on one another.
