Another idea would be an audio-visual web-installation, which I would give the working title "digital data incinerator". I developed the idea one year ago and I think it could fit well in this project: | Another idea would be an audio-visual web-installation, which I would give the working title "digital data incinerator".

Mankind produces and collects more (digital) data than being able to process. The major amount of stored data consists of waste. So the global network of computers is becoming the biggest garbage dump of history.The garbage consists of: blog comments, email archives, dead forums, tons of terabytes of cracked software, bad encoded media, picture graveyards ... Add to this consumer tracking data, digitalized public archives and loads of other data gathered by data mining and mix it with millions of redundancies of videos, pictures and songs uploaded to the new web 2.0 portals alá youtube or myspace. We are drowning in this flood - why not tidy up a little bit? The digital data incinerator will be an (web-)interface where you can upload unneeded data (old bachelor thesis, the 10th ripped copy of adobe cs6, your 20 GB of unheard MP3 music you have taken from different USB sticks etc.) and let them be burned into a digital "fire", which will have an audiovisual stream as emission. This fire will be feed by data from people all around the world. So you never know which impact your data will have - but it will have one at all! So now you can meet with good friends, bring your laptops/handhelds/tabloids, some speakers and a beamer with you and celebrate an audiovisual experience while tidying up your data waste :-) | Mankind produces and collects more (digital) data than being able to process.
