Inspired by the creative re-use of dumpsters in Athens, Georgia by Curtis Crowe of the band
Pylon, the
Macro|Sea collective have taken the idea further, and have their first
dumpster pool space prototype up and
active in Brooklyn (
via). The group's big idea is to
revitalize strip malls across America. On the smaller scale, British artist Oliver Bishop-Young has "
turned skips into gold," by
refurbishing small skips into little ponds, parks, skate ramps, and micro meeting areas (
more details). On the more personal level, Michel de Broin created "Blue Monochrom," a
dumpster hot tub.
