<h2>The servers are down. The Streaming has stopped.<br> The cloud is gone.<br> Welcome to a Video Store After the End of the World.</h2>
A Video Store After the End of the World is an analogue video store, not a nostalgic but alternative infrastructure set in an imaginary retro-future when cloud networks having ceased to exist. The world that has ended here is <em>the</em> world as a coherent narrative and cultural imaginary in a time of complex ecological disaster. The store becomes a temporary infrastructure that gathers materials into an evolving archive of practices within computation that resist the extractivist spatio-temporal regime of the cloud, with a focus on collaboratively maintained and de-scaled services of transversal and trans★feminist activists, artists and designers.</p>

<strong>_ 8th of March 2023: Counter Cloud Action Day</strong><br>
For the 8th of March 2023, a transnational network of organisations, collectives and individuals have issued a call for a Trans★Feminist Digital Depletion Strike as a protest against cloud-based computing and its extractive logic. Also referred to as a Counter Cloud Action Day, it is meant to inspire different responses at the intersection of labour, care, and trans★feminist techno-politics. As part of the International Digital Trans*Feminist Depletion Strike, <em>A Videostore After the End of the World</em> pops up at the space Collega as a window installation and collective action calling for a scaledown of extractive digital services.<br>
