Demoscene has recently become my newest obsession. I have personally dabbled mostly into TouchDesigner and tried some processing after getting familiar with Joshua Davis, but the Demoscene is such a fascinating internet culture that I'm just drawn into it as a fan.

Anyone here into it? Please share your thoughts and/or creations if you have any. Or anything about it.

My interpretation is that this is graffiti in the realm of computer nerds. It's creating an executable program which serves only one purpose - to flex on the rest. Each demo is a unique real-time audio/visual experience, with most of them being ahead of their time. They may resemble a music video at first glance.

There are demoparties, where demo makers would compete against each other. They can have different stipulations, such as a limit to the file size (usually in kilobites, which is insane), or have to be for specific hardware.


Again, this is the interpretation of an outsider.

Nonetheless, here is one really good one. But keep in mind they can all be very different from each other.



I also plan on going to a demoscene gathering this weekend in Berlin if by chance someone here has the same plans.

Ah, then you must be 22. Just that early twenties angst, believe me. At 22 if you start now, you can do so much. Push down on the gas pedal bro.
