The Digital Fill is a place where users can enter webpages to be trashed in a virtual landfill or recycle pages they or others have submitted. The work speaks to the voluminous amount of information that is created on an hourly basis and how most of that information goes unread. It also looks at webpages that have stopped being updated long ago and if those pages are now essentially "trash." The project was created as an exploration of the phenomenon of digital detritus, and how one might come to identify a webpage as "past its expiration date."
