The interests within this group overlap on different axes. The interests within this group overlap on different axes.
In our conversations, the dominant axis is one of ![networks](bib:199f1eef-f355-4c96-9167-152604db4303). We have discussed ![horizontal kinships](bib: 13bc7f21-2c9c-49e6-82a1-370010b6f3f7) between like-archives (most immediately, [Memory of the World](https://memoryoftheworld.org), [Monoskop](https://monoskop.org/Monoskop)) using the terms of digital culture and computational engineering to think practically about "the political". But my guess is that the politics of the people behind these like-seeming archives are probably quite varied, beyond sharing ![one guiding question](shard:whatif.md) (i.e., what if copyright didn't exist?).

So, I want to think [UBUweb](https://ubu.com) on a different axis, in terms of remix culture and another cluster of like-minded archives, which UBUweb scaled-up among. [PennSound](https://writing.upenn.edu/pennsound/), the [Electronic Poetry Centre](https://writing.upenn.edu/epc/), and later the [Eclipse archive](http://eclipsearchive.org/) all try to sample and share — for educational use — the vernacular heritage of literary communities who self-identify with non-mainstream culture.
