DescriptionDemoscene events, often considered the original hackathons, bring together artists and programmers in marathon sessions that culminate in a live demo competition. While mainly Europe hosts large-scale demoscene events, the culture is spreading globally, pushing the boundaries of art, code , graphics and music.

When we talk about Demoscene, we delve into the rich history of computer graphics techniques. It's akin to walking through a digital art gallery, where each work pushes the boundaries of what is technically possible. For those who want to make a name for themselves in CGI, game development or research, Demoscene is not just a recommendation; it's a rite of passage. The skills gained here are versatile and provide a solid foundation for various career paths.

But Demoscene is not just about code or visuals. It's about the people. A melting pot of diverse minds from all walks of life - regardless of neurodiversity, gender or sexual orientation. Here the merit lies in the work, in the art. The community is caring, always willing to share knowledge. However, there is a competitive spirit, a friendly rivalry that pushes them to constantly innovation and creation

The demoscene, as an international community, holds immense significance, as evidenced by its inclusion in the intangible heritage listings of UNESCO in numerous countries worldwide. Several of these countries include Finland, Germany, Poland, the Netherlands, and Switzerland. These entries acknowledge the demoscene's contribution to the evolution of digital culture and visual art, as well as its role in cultural heritage.

Expect the usual Demoscene activities:

• Demoparty
• Compos (Competitions)
• Technical and Creative Talks
• Workshops
• Retro Museum
• Demos on display
• Hardware old and new (C64, Amiga, Atari etc)
