This paper presents a set of three different designed objects which each take a different approach to the same concept - the active destruction of sound recordings. I situate this work within sustainability studies, political ecologies of technology, and constraints-based design. Following this I describe the design and development of the devices themselves, introduce the final built objects, and attempt to analyze what they might represent. The paper takes the form of an annotated portfolio, in which the objects are shown, analyzed, and critically evaluated.
