Submit new material
We're currently looking for submissions to add to our digital library. If you create art that consists of digital audio, video, text, or images, then submitting to braid is an easy way to preserve this work and make it available to your community. If you create physical objects, performances, parties, or something else that isn't primarily a digital file, but can be respresented or recorded as one, we're keen to archive these too. To submit files to braid, please email braid at bitrot dot online with information about what you'd like to archive.
Contribute to our backup
Because things stored on braid are available as torrents, it's easy to contribute to the archive's resiliance against data loss. By seeding our torrents, you help distribute our archive by making another copy available on your computer. You can learn how to do this at braid.bitrot.online/learn
Rip us off
Maybe you run an indie record label, or an independent digital cinema, or a creative writing zine. Maybe you've realised that archiving, indexing, and distributing the work you care about is weirdly hard to do well using the modern platforms we usually think of.
Braid is nothing more than a simple web server and a collection of torrents. It's pretty easy for anyone else who wants to curate an index of files to do so in a very similar manner. If you do so, consider mirroring some or all of our collection- all you need to do is seed our torrents.
Braid will only be successful if it is adopted as an easy way to archive, index, and distribute art digitally. it is not the first of its kind, and hopefully won't be the last.
