This morning there was an interesting presentation at #lgm about using new typographic ligatures to make written language more gender-neutral. Great ideas with graphically interesting solutions. Thanks to the "Bye Bye Binary"-collective. https://typotheque.genderfluid.space/
> Since 2014, the platform State Of The Arts (SOTA) has been discussing, researching and promoting fair practice in the arts along five axes: solidarity, diversity, transparency, ecology and relationality. In 2019, SOTA’s almanac group published the first Fair Arts Almanac.
“The Engaging Typographic Conditions of Use (Conditions d’Utilisations Typographiques Engagantes)”, by Bye Bye Binary at @lgm
> The Engaging Typographic Conditions of Use, written by the Bye Bye Binary collective, are a way of bringing together people who design, distribute and use post-binary fonts. These conditions are a kind of contract, a user guide, usable by anyone wishing to publish a post-binary font.
“Seamful Pedagogies”, very inspiring talk by @automatist, the director of @xpub Master at the Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam.
> In this talk, we propose an approach to design pedagogy with free software that rejects the false neutrality of seamless design solutions, instead embracing seamfulness, situated within the contingencies of existing systems, working with technology as boundary objects as a means of bridging diverse communities of practice.
Discovered at #lgm2024: Coollab is a node- and shader-based realtime procedural generator, like Touch Designer. A one-minute demo was more than enough to impress the crowd, I want this!
:penpot: I’ll be in Rennes tomorrow to give a talk about @penpot at Libre Graphics Meetings @lgm
I was supposed to share the stage with @niktrip, but she won’t be able to make it, so I’ll be presenting alone.
I’m a bit stressed because it’s my first time at LGM, I have no idea how many people will be there, what the vibe is, and above all, I’ll have to speak in English! I hope people will be nice and forgiving 😅
The #gimp-team started assembling in #rennes for this years #Libregraphicsmeeting / #lgm2024. Great to meet long time friends again. Thanks to all the GIMP-donors for making this possible!
