A message from Ubu!
UbuWeb
Founded 1996
February 1, 2025
A year ago, we decided to shutter UbuWeb. Not really shutter it, per se, but instead to consider it complete. After nearly 30 years, it felt right. But now, with the political changes in America and elsewhere around the world, we have decided to restart our archiving and regrow Ubu. In a moment when our collective memory is being systematically eradicated, archiving reemerges as a strong form of resistance, a way of preserving crucial, subversive, and marginalized forms of expression. We encourage you to do the same. All rivers lead to the same ocean: find your form of resistance, no matter how small, and go hard. It's now or never. Together we can prevent the annihilation of the memory of the world.
Tech oligarchies are an environmental & societal catastrophe.
Under the prevailing ideology of Technological Determinism we're conditioned to understand these sprawling centralisations of capital & skill as a 'natural' expression of Progress. In so doing we give license to their rampant capture of our Commons.
It is time we consciously decouple tech oligarchies from any notion of progress, lest of all the Commons. Rather, we ought to see them as an oil spill, an epidemic, a civilisational rot

Thanks to @zemarmot's new filter API, we can now import legacy Color Overlay layer styles in PSDs!
I've posted an issue to figure out how to match the other layer styles to GEGL filters, so we can implement them as well. If you're familar with either and want to help, please share suggestions.
