This project enabled a complete “RE:imagination” of the UpStage code, removing its\ndependency on Flash, introducing new features and bringing it up to date with current technologies. The last\ntime we presented UpStage at LGM, in 2021, we had just begun this process; since then, the new platform\nhas been launched and development is ongoing.\n\nIn this presentation, our Lead Developer Gloria W. and\nUpStage Persister Helen Varley Jamieson will present the new platform and its features including its\nintegration of Jitsi for audio-visual streams, audience interaction and live text and drawing tools. Most\nrecently the developers have implemented Docker and made other improvements to the backend, to make\ninstallation of independent instances easier and testing more automated.\n\nAlongside the development work, UpStage continues to actively promote the use of open source tools by\nartists, and the involvement of artists in the development of our digital tools. This is ever more important as\nLLM (so-called AI) and the increasing hegemony of proprietary social and creative platforms force artists\ninto their paradigms. UpStage continues to be an independent, artist-led space for the “RE:imagination” of\nbetter worlds.\n\n## Links\n\n* [UpStage](https://upstage.org.nz/)\n* [UpStage: the cyberformance platform](https://upstage.live/)\n* [Mobilise/Demobilise](https://mobilise-demobilise.eu/)\n\nLicensed to the public under https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","original_language":"eng","persons":["Helen Varley Jamieson","Gloria W."],"tags":["83648","2025","lgm2025","main","lgm2025-eng","Day 1"],"view_count":44,"promoted":false,"date":"2025-05-28T15:30:00.000+02:00","release_date":"2025-05-28T00:00:00.000+02:00","updated_at":"2025-11-27T02:45:05.676+01:00","length":1758,"duration":1758,"thumb_url":"https://static.media.ccc.de/media/events/lgm/2025/83648-d7ddc243-5a7e-5f94-8b6d-2abde16de84c.jpg","poster_url":"https://static.media.ccc.de/media/events/lgm/2025/83648-d7ddc243-5a7e-5f94-8b6d-2abde16de84c_preview.jpg","timeline_url":"https://static.media.ccc.de/media/events/lgm/2025/83648-d7ddc243-5a7e-5f94-8b6d-2abde16de84c.timeline.jpg","thumbnails_url":"https://static.media.ccc.de/media/events/lgm/2025/83648-d7ddc243-5a7e-5f94-8b6d-2abde16de84c.thumbnails.vtt","frontend_link":"https://media.ccc.de/v/lgm25-upstream-2025-83648-upstage","url":"https://api.media.ccc.de/public/events/d7ddc243-5a7e-5f94-8b6d-2abde16de84c","conference_title":"Libre Graphics Meeting 2025 ","conference_url":"https://api.media.ccc.de/public/conferences/lgm2025","related":[],"recordings":[{"size":16,"length":1758,"mime_type":"audio/opus","language":"eng","filename":"lgm2025-83648-eng-UpStage_opus.opus","state":"new","folder":"opus","high_quality":false,"width":0,"height":0,"updated_at":"2025-05-28T22:51:32.505+02:00","recording_url":"https://cdn.media.ccc.de/events/lgm/2025/opus/lgm2025-83648-eng-UpStage_opus.opus","url":"https://api.media.ccc.de/public/recordings/87650","event_url":"https://api.media.ccc.de/public/events/d7ddc243-5a7e-5f94-8b6d-2abde16de84c","conference_url":"https://api.media.ccc.de/public/conferences/lgm2025"},{"size":75,"length":1758,"mime_type":"video/webm","language":"eng","filename":"lgm2025-83648-eng-UpStage_webm-sd.webm","state":"new","folder":"webm-sd","high_quality":false,"width":720,"height":576,"updated_at":"2025-05-28T23:29:03.858+02:00","recording_url":"https://cdn.media.ccc.de/events/lgm/2025/webm-sd/lgm2025-83648-eng-UpStage_webm-sd.webm","url":"https://api.media.ccc.de/public/recordings/87661","event_url":"https://api.media.ccc.de/public/events/d7ddc243-5a7e-5f94-8b6d-2abde16de84c","conference_url":"https://api.media.ccc.de/public/conferences/lgm2025"},{"size":234,"length":1758,"mime_type":"video/webm","language":"eng","filename":"lgm2025-83648-eng-UpStage_webm-hd.webm","state":"new","folder":"webm-hd","high_quality":true,"width":1920,"height":1080,"updated_at":"2025-05-28T23:19:07.242+02:00","recording_url":"https://cdn.media.ccc.de/events/lgm/2025/webm-hd/lgm2025-83648-eng-UpStage_webm-hd.webm","url":"https://api.media.ccc.de/public/recordings/87655","event_url":"https://api.media.ccc.de/public/events/d7ddc243-5a7e-5f94-8b6d-2abde16de84c","conference_url":"https://api.media.ccc.de/public/conferences/lgm2025"},{"size":26,"length":1758,"mime_type":"audio/mpeg","language":"eng","filename":"lgm2025-83648-eng-UpStage_mp3.mp3","state":"new","folder":"mp3","high_quality":false,"width":0,"height":0,"updated_at":"2025-05-28T22:51:36.369+02:00","recording_url":"https://cdn.media.ccc.de/events/lgm/2025/mp3/lgm2025-83648-eng-UpStage_mp3.mp3","url":"https://api.media.ccc.de/public/recordings/87651","event_url":"https://api.media.ccc.de/public/events/d7ddc243-5a7e-5f94-8b6d-2abde16de84c","conference_url":"https://api.media.ccc.de/public/conferences/lgm2025"},{"size":64,"length":1758,"mime_type":"video/mp4","language":"eng","filename":"lgm2025-83648-eng-UpStage_sd.mp4","state":"new","folder":"h264-sd","high_quality":false,"width":720,"height":576,"updated_at":"2025-05-28T22:51:09.135+02:00","recording_url":"https://cdn.media.ccc.de/events/lgm/2025/h264-sd/lgm2025-83648-eng-UpStage_sd.mp4","url":"https://api.media.ccc.de/public/recordings/87644","event_url":"https://api.media.ccc.de/public/events/d7ddc243-5a7e-5f94-8b6d-2abde16de84c","conference_url":"https://api.media.ccc.de/public/conferences/lgm2025"},{"size":214,"length":1758,"mime_type":"video/mp4","language":"eng","filename":"lgm2025-83648-eng-UpStage_hd.mp4","state":"new","folder":"h264-hd","high_quality":true,"width":1920,"height":1080,"updated_at":"2025-05-28T22:41:15.855+02:00","recording_url":"https://cdn.media.ccc.de/events/lgm/2025/h264-hd/lgm2025-83648-eng-UpStage_hd.mp4","url":"https://api.media.ccc.de/public/recordings/87639","event_url":"https://api.media.ccc.de/public/events/d7ddc243-5a7e-5f94-8b6d-2abde16de84c","conference_url":"https://api.media.ccc.de/public/conferences/lgm2025"}]}
