We're cleaning the mold from our VHS tapes to be displayed in a brand new archive of all things OBJECT:PARADISE. Regular programming resumes on opening night.

On 16-06-2026, we were notified of the permanent deletion of the OBJECT:PARADISE YouTube channel. In a single, automated sweep, our archive of the Prague underground's history, poetics, and experimental film was erased. Furthermore, we have been explicitly prohibited from creating any future channels.
Under the EU's Digital Services Act (DSA), platforms of this scale are legally required to provide transparent moderation, clear justifications, and access to actual human review when a digital livelihood or archive is destroyed. However, even after consultation with agencies operating under the DSA, we have been unable to reach any human response from YouTube.
But as frustrating as this news is, it didn't surprise us.
In fact, it is the exact reason we formed the OBJECT:PARADISE collective in the first place — to curate and create collective agency in the celebration of public art. Today's platforms steal this agency from us through their algorithmic biases and automated content control, which directly conflicts with our Manifesto. So we decided to take the L and to do something with it.
We have completely redesigned the OBJECT:PARADISE Archive with four objectives in mind:
to preserve the entire archive — our films, our magazines, our sounds, and documentation of our curations.
to share the archive in an accessible, O:P way which encourages discovery and users' agency.
to celebrate the users who have contributed to the archive by creating a visual representation of our network's connections and contributions.
to encourage future collaboration within the local and extended O:P network.
And, perhaps most importantly, to keep it free, algorithmically independent, and weird.
In 08-2026, we launched the beta version of the site to select users. The official launch is on 31-10-2026 at The Prague Microfestival, Kampus Hybernská, doors at 18:00.
Thanks for all the support.

THE O:P COMMUNITY MAP
The community map exists so members can find each other when they travel — you land in a city, you see who's there. Would you like to appear on it?
Only your city is ever shown — never an address, never coordinates you didn't type. You can opt out again at any time, from the map itself or from Settings.

Confirm your email address.
Your account exists, but we haven't heard back from your inbox yet — so you cannot open settings, archive and photographs yet, and nothing you post or save would be kept. Click the link in the email we sent to your address, then press the button below.
Nothing there? It can take a minute, and it lands in your junk or spam folder more often than it should. Look there, press “Not junk”, and only then resend.
