The digital junkyard is an experiment in virtual salvage. It is a repository of donated digital information that is used to generate real physical objects. Making use of the derelict bits of ideas, lines, code, vectors, patterns, curves that we all have cluttering up our hard drives, the digital junkyard seeks to mine the embodied intellectual energy stored in digital files.

Developed through a community arts grant, this temporary tree-fort was constructed in the woods near Toronto Community Housing site, Villawayz. The project was inspired by a fort the kids had built on site that was torn down by the housing corporation. A custom modular building system allowed the kids to collaborate in building the structure.
