The initial video store collected more than 2000 video tapes and this archive will now be used to create a new work, a VHS archive of our current cloud-based media culture, as a starting point for a discussion of what media production and distribution could look like beyond the Big Tech cloud. The Great Netfix will consist of a low-tech media infrastructure that allows for the recording of streaming media onto VHS. This installation physically demonstrates that the contents of digital platforms are not endless, but rather based on an economy of artificially created scarcity. In contrast, our Great Netfix suggests “unclouding” audiovisual streams in order to inspire imaginaries of other media infrastructures.

<br>As part of the series "Gang i Arnestedet", during World Capital of Architecture 2023, A Video Store After the End of the World is installed into one of the two glass pavilions at Enghaveparken. Here, one of the houses is transformed into a fictitious video store "after the end of the world", where the defunct VHS medium becomes the backdrop for a conversation about how we can collectively imagine new, more sustainable and local ways of sharing knowledge, art and culture than through the energy-intensive cloud-based networks we rely on today.</p> <br>As part of the series "Gang i Arnestedet", during World Capital of Architecture 2023, A Video Store After the End of the World is installed into one of the two glass pavilions at Enghaveparken.
