Apocalypse ceremony ritual(Wordwhole)

Michel: Apocalypse for me would be a poetic, and positive atmosphere which reminds people what do they want to archive and also, letting go with the unnecessary ones. Keep what is wanted and dismiss useless aspects. The concept is similar to the“Decluttering”. Minimize to create a happier and mindful life with meanings. It’s the process(protocol) you decide whether the items(archive) in your mental and physical space are actually clutter and if not, decide where they belong, and action(active) that decision. Like the graveyard metaphor, it’s time to say goodbye to the files and set a data memorial site. We always have anxiety for preserving everything. Let’s perform a ceremony rituals for decluttering in the digital world.

For the Special Issue 22, I would like to create an artistic installation with interactive devices. For example, made from multiple recycling materials of an archival creature. The audience could choose a piece of our archives to listen to and decide if they want to leave the message or something for it.
