+<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>
+<p>A Video Store After the End of the World is an analogue video store, not a nostalgic but an alternative infrastructure set in an imaginary retro-future when cloud networks have 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>
+The store hosts a collection of about 2000 VHS home-recorded tapes and an ongoing research which generates new audiovisual content in the form of interviews, texts and other materials. This new material gradually alters the existing content of the tapes, reformatting them into “Mix Tapes” on different themes relating to non-extractivist practices.</p>

 <p><strong>_ 5 June - 3 July 2024: The Great Netfix, Exhibition at Borough Road Gallery / Center for the Study of the Networked Image, London Southbank University.</em></strong><br>
 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.
