Maker Faire Bay Area 2009
Toxic Redemption

Location:   Redwood  450   

Constantly delighted that people think what we do is unique or even appreciably intelligent, we have been recycling household electronics for public benefit for fifteen years. This monstrosity is just the latest example of our obsession to diverting material from the waste stream. Made entirely out of other people’s garbage, we will attempt to amuse gawkers by using simple free linux tricks on artistically arranged toxic waste.

About the Maker(s)

Alameda County Computer Resoruce Center ACCRC recycles discarded electronics and gives free refurbished computers to schools, non-profit organizations, and economically and/or physically disadvantaged individuals. Our refurbished systems are perfectly adequate for reuse in most home, school, and office applications and run a free software GNU/Linux operating system such as Ubuntu.
