A non-profit archival project dedicated to cataloguing playlists through vision and flow — an experimental space for new media practice. It investigates forms of unauthorized publishing, challenging the selective nature of social media by making visible the materials, stages, and narratives that usually remain unseen. Operating as both an archive and a research platform, the project explores playlists as cultural artifacts, narrative structures, and tools for collective knowledge production, examining how digital content is collected, circulated, transformed, and remembered. Through the documentation and recontextualization of digital traces, references, and peripheral materials, it reveals overlooked connections and alternative readings of contemporary online culture. Alongside its archival activity, the project develops physical artifacts, printed matter, collectible objects, typefaces and merchandise inspired by the visual languages of childhood, nostalgia, and shared cultural memory. These objects extend the archive beyond the screen, translating ephemeral digital experiences into tangible forms that reactivate personal and collective histories through material engagement. Positioned between artistic practice, archival research, and critical media inquiry, the project embraces accumulation, incompleteness, and continuous revision, understanding the archive not as a static repository but as a living environment where images, playlists, objects, and memories remain in constant circulation.
