In 2023, it will be 15 years since Vesterbro's legendary video store Yvonnes Video closed after 27 years on the corner of Saxogade and Istedgade. Today, we live in a different digital reality where physical video rental no longer exists. At the entrance to Enghave Parken in Copenhagen, the window facades of a glass pavilion is used to create the feeling that even though you are standing outside, you are inside a video store. From the outside, your gaze is met by stacks of VHS videotapes and screens running a series of subtitled video interviews with designers, artists and scientists who, in different ways, reflect on and fight for a more sustainable and just digital world. Like a regular video store, we will also be open at certain times and from the street, you can enter and participate in a series of events that reflect on the sustainability of our digital lives and speculate on possible alternatives.</p> In 2023, it will be 15 years since Vesterbro's legendary video store Yvonnes Video closed after 27 years on the corner of Saxogade and Istedgade.

This new material gradually alters the existing content of the tapes, reformatting them into “Mix Tapes”: publications on different themes relating to non-extractivist practices.</p>
