The Swap-O-Matic is a vending machine art project based in Brooklyn where users can exchange goods without exchanging money. Lina Fenequito of Good World Media is the main designer and creator behind The Swap-O-Matic, which currently is a one-up retro-styled machine that travels between various New York City stores.

The Swap-o-matic is a vending machine which playfully tries to remind us that reusing and recycling can be just as fun as buying something new. The machine allows users to donate and receive items, instantly and for free!

UPDATE: A Kickstarter project has been launched to help fund The Swap-O-Matic.
