No work exists in isolation. Raw.Space builds upon the collective knowledge and generous sharing of countless creators, communities, and open source contributors. This page acknowledges the open source creators whose work enables Raw.Space's experiments in digital poetics, and recognises the vast network of care that makes any creative work possible.
interactive experience
Used code shared by: Alexandre Vacassin
Immersive 3D text animation adapted from Alexandre's sophisticated CSS transforms and perspective work to create a hypnotic meditation on language and repetition. The original's complex 3D geometry and scrolling text animations form the foundation for Raw.Space's exploration of how words move through space and time.
interactive interface
Used code shared by: Andy Barefoot
Geometric book visualisation adapted from Andy's creative CSS layout adapted to house Raw.Space's curated collection. The original's hexagonal grid system perfectly aligned with our approach to presenting discoverable volumes.
three.js experience
Used code shared by: ge1doot
Physics-based character animation system adapted from ge1doot's sophisticated verlet integration and skeletal structure code to create dancing figures. The original's mathematical approach to realistic body movement and physics enables Raw.Space's meditation on political conformity, institutional power, and the inevitable emergence of autonomy within supposedly unified systems.
gpu simulation
Used code shared by: Three.js community
GPU-based bird flocking simulation adapted from the Three.js examples collection. The original demonstrates sophisticated GPU particle computation for realistic flocking behaviour, which we've contextualised within Raw.Space's exploration of collective movement and emergent patterns.
constellation interface
Used code shared by: Andy Barefoot
Interactive constellation and connection visualisation adapted from Andy's beautiful particle system. The original's organic movement and connection patterns perfectly embody Raw.Space's philosophy of relationship and interdependence, making it ideal for our main homepage experience.
Raw.Space relies on countless open source projects and communities whose labour makes experimental web work possible. We acknowledge CodePen for creating a platform where creators share experiments generously, the Three.js community for advancing creative possibilities in web-based 3D, CSS and JavaScript communities for continuous innovation in web standards, and web accessibility advocates for guidance on inclusive design practices.
Our approach builds upon ideas from Indigenous knowledge systems (particularly concepts of relationality and reciprocity), ecology and systems thinking, feminist technoscience, commons-based peer production, and critical digital studies. We acknowledge that many of these ideas originate from communities whose knowledge has historically been extracted without credit or compensation, and we strive to engage with this inheritance responsibly.
Raw.Space's visual language builds upon typography and design resources including Entestas and Capsbats fonts for profile illustrations, Georgia serif for readable text foundation, IBM Plex Mono for interface elements, and the broader web font communities advancing accessible typography online.
Following our commitment to reciprocity, Raw.Space practices generous attribution, economic sharing with creators whose work we build upon, knowledge commons contribution by sharing our own experiments openly, community support through promotion and amplification, and ongoing relationship rather than one-time extraction.
If you've contributed to open source work that Raw.Space builds upon and we haven't credited you properly, please let us know at hello@raw.space. Attribution is an ongoing practice, not a one-time task.
Acknowledgement is not a formality.
It is recognition of the vast network of care
that makes any creative work possible.
