ReFILL is an interactive installation that gives a glimpse at the pile-up of would-be trash that’s destined for a second life; everything that goes in is scanned super quick, then projected onto an adjacent building like a big game of urban Plinko.
Digital artist Lukasz Karluk came up with the idea for this year’s Vivid Sydney festival of lights—a perfect venue considering how many extra folks generally come out for cool city-wide events and, despite everyone’s best efforts, produce a bunch of extra garbage in the process.
So Karluk, along with Pete Stopniak and Nick Clark, created a custom plywood box with a trapdoor for a top; any item placed on it is photographed before it falls into the hole, then the pic is shown bouncing down a wall, hitting windows and doors in “real time” all the way down, until it rests at the bottom with the growing collection of discards.
