1) There is no permanent storage device yet made, but company’s always promises eternal, permanent, life time guaranty for storage of your digital information. Been looking into people own experience when this lies break their promises with their user.
2) Collecting peoples own experience of data-loss on-line on twitter .
3) A wall that show ads of storage devices on different types of screens together with re purpose storage devices as speakers.. (Speakers of old Hard-Drives)

1) All around us there is old disc, drives, cds, tapes ++ with your collective memory's, but what happens when they get stock on them. Do we remember whats on them? Do we remember the formats?
2) Make an online collection of peoples old storage media, ask people to send in their objects with the stories around them, where they are from, what they think is on them and also show what's on them if I can get access to them (kryoflux, VHS to Mac adapters +)
3) A online website, printed book/magazine with the collection, or both.. as paper is fare better storage medium them digital for long-term preservation.

1) Computers come and go, that's the nature of technological development, but old machines form the 70s. 80S and even 90s are long since been driven to the dump. A lot like the Acorn Computer, Atari, Osborne and more are slowly dissipating, but the irony is that the computer manuals still exist, the printed word outlast the electronics..
2) Collect old manuals, books for computer system
3) Make a box, “storage device” or shelf (maybe of old computer cabinets) on where to show them and display them..

1) There is no permanent storage device yet made, but company’s always promises eternal, permanent, life time guaranty for storage of your digital information.
2) Collect information and knowledge around current and dead storage devices.

They send in there objects with a description on where, why and what they think is on there. The object is photograph, and it get put online (if I can get the content of I show that as well) as a collection.
Show a collection of “lets plays” video game footage , video cube where you are in the games. Video walls (screens of different sizes and type)
Fake ads for cloud services put in the stress twisting the promises of the cloud (ad busting)
Fake websites for cloud services put in the stress twisting the promises of the cloud (ad busting)
Use the marketing for cloud services in a new way, to mock them.
Never saving “storage solution” that never saves the content but just deletes it
Mock online storage solution where content are being mined for data and being sold on a data “stock-market” (not real)
Hybrid laser/ink printer where you can print out content from > for offline storage
