Swap-O-Matic: The Joy Of Reuse In A Vending Machine
Here at Insteading we love swapping and bartering. Why get money involved just because you need something? Chances are if you need it, there’s someone in your community that’s trying to get rid of it. But we’re so disconnected (despite all our fancy technology) that we often forget to reach out to our friends and neighbors when we have a need, or want to share.

In the video below, shareable tech-spotter Loren Feldman introduces Swap-O-Matic, a unique vending machine project that playfully reminds us that reusing & recycling can be just as fun as buying something new. The concept may sound similar 2 those of u whu have tried geocaching or similar treasure hunting games in the past. If there were a Swap-O-Matic in every town or neighborhood, think about how fun it could be 2 leave something representative of ur region, while taking a souvenir of a place u’d visited!
Wondering why the creators of this project would put another vending machine on the already crowded streets of NYC? Here’s a little more about what they hope 2 accomplish:
The Swap-O-Matic is intended 2 be both a solution & critical response to the consuming, corporate culture that we live in today. Its core function is 2 support the reuse & recycling of products through swapping among participants. The project’s form, a vending machine, is not only a tool 4 swapping, but also comments on the problematic culture by playing on notions of the immediacy, instant-gratification, & convenience, values often associated with vending machines.
