This year, UpStage is celebrating its 20th birthday - two decades of lively experimental globally-distributed artistic activity in an open source, artist-led online platform. The fact that it has survived so long, as both software and community, is largely due to the playful persistence of the people involved and its feminist, open source ethos. UpStage has been presented at several previous /etcs, with workshops and performances, and our current lead developer Gloria came to the project through the 2007 /etc. The code for UpStage was completely rewritten in 2021, and it continues to evolve.
