Possible Apocalypse (Wordhole)

In relation to archiving, an apocalypse is canonically data loss. But from my perspective, data loss and forgetting can sometimes be fruitful and productive, not only can it give us the opportunity to imagine an alternative (post-apocalyptic) world, but also allow us to consume less resources. For me an apocalypse is over-consumption, the endless stream of data that is hosted on a server, which consumes energy, calls from the mining of minerals in countries of the global South. (In my own country as well, Germany attempted to mine lithium as it is notion the land of the European union.) What concerns me is a lack of thinking about the fact that our how finite our resources are. How to make the resources we use to archive be more sustainable? How to compress audio? Can we sacrifice the quality of a recording if it means that it will consume less energy?

In relation to the apocalypse and the SI, I want to further develop the Radio Worm studio 3D model from a clean de-cluttered studio to a messy hoarding one. Though 3D modelling and simulation, it would be possible to physically show what amount of digital data is actually being stored without anyone being aware of it. If this digital data was for instance cassettes or vinyls, they might fill up the studio and overflow from the sides.
