ok somehow I missed #demosunday . I know why I missed it. It involves Amigas and using them.
This past weekend was #graffathon in Finland. https://demozoo.org/parties/5036/ which is an excellent party that somehow I always end up doing something else during.
Haven't checked it all out yet. You should. Especially the 'beginner' stuff, because that tends to be very inspiring.
also there was a PT1210 weekender and I missed it and Ctrix played a set and I think h0ffman did and AAAUGH
Also Arok is the same weekend as Ed!son and AAUGH
Now this isn't supposed to bring folks down but it seems a bit down now that I'm reading it, and, well, that may be due to having read some posts on fedi this morning and yeah, it's a mess out there, and y'all are trying to get others thru it, not just yourself. Keep that up, even tho it wipes out spoons. It's worth it.
To anyone who took part in the workshop last week, or otherwise interested in the topics: #Graffathon 2025 is happening this weekend and taking 👽 remote entries! We are coordinating in the #EINGRAFF channel on Matrix. DM me for info.
🎨 Graffathon is a weekend-long demoscene / computer art hackathon. Deadline for submissions is shortly after NOON CET on Sunday.
🏆 Artworks receive votes from the audience in a playful contest. Everyone gets eternal fame and shares in the joy of creating!
Graffathon is a weekend-long demoscene / computer art hackathon. Newbies and seasoned sceners alike create real-time audiovisual art in small teams or individually. As a total beginner you can get a headstart with our tutorial, as long as you are excited about computational art! The artworks are presented on the big screen on Sunday.
In June 2024, I attended Graffathon at the Aalto Design Factory in Espoo, Finland. It was an interesting introduction to demoscene culture. Around thirty participants gathered for this uniquely starter-friendly demoparty, enjoying a good helping of creativity and collaboration. Over the course of two and a half days, demosceners crafted seventeen impressive demos, showcasing the talents of both beginners and advanced coders. This article recounts my impressions of Graffathon 2024, exploring the vibrant intersection of art and technology that defines this extraordinary community.
