The Trash Web forum was held as an online forum to complement the Trash web project. The aim of the forum was to profile artists, writers and organisations associated with MAAP's Excess program and Experimenta's Waste program, both held in October 2001.

Participants in the forum included:

Mediators: Di Ball, Kim Machan, The Powerhouse in Brisbane.

MAAP artists (Brisbane):
  Melinda Rackham, artist MAAP
  Andrew Kettle, artist MAAP

Experimenta artists (Melbourne and Syndey):
  Ian Haig, artist, Excelsior 3000
  Shilpa Gupta, artist, Sentiment Express
  Gay Hawkins, writer, UNSW

Remote:
  Soh Yeong Roh (Director) Dooeun Choi (curator), Arts Centre Nabi, Seoul
  Fatima Lasay, Festival Director, Digital Media Festival Phillipines
  Sophie Lin, The Loft New Media Art Space, Beijing

These artists were linked to the forum by telephone and where possible live video feed. Audiences were located at the Powerhouse and were also able to engage on a web forum established by ABC Arts Online. Technical difficulties on the day prevented a live web feed from the Powerhouse. During the two-hour period, there were 120 posts on the web forum, from Australia and Asia. ABC Online will upload audio and image from the Powerhouse to complement the web forum.
