This conference talk explores how Permacomputing can transform digital graphics culture from extractive and polluting to regenerative and sustainable. Discover how FLOSS (Free/Libre Open Source Software) can shift from contributing to problematic computing practices toward creating more verdant, just, and humane digital aesthetics. Learn about Permacomputing as both a concept and community of practice focused on resilience and regenerativity in computer technology, inspired by permaculture principles. The presentation covers emerging projects in this space, examines how existing Libre Graphics practices can support more holistic approaches, and showcases specific examples of software development, education, and image-making that embrace computing within ecological limits. Presented by Brendan Howell at LGM 2025 (Libre Graphics Meeting).
