UbuWeb (1996 - )

The archive / holding place

Why is your media often poor quality?We like poor quality because we believe that an institution or an individual wishing to have the "real" thing should purchase it from those who publish and distribute such materials.

Believe me, they're not in it for the money. That said, however, most everything on UbuWeb is pretty much out of print and was never hi-fi to begin with. On top of that, the crappy, say,

VHS rips floating around file-sharing site -- where we get much of our material from -- is gorgeously primitive, made by fans. UbuWeb is like seeing a photograph of a painting. If you

really want to see the way Van Gogh applied the paint, you need to see the damn thing in person. Until you can get there, you're stuck with us.
