Demoscene exhibition in Hamburg
We cordially invite you to our einklang.net & Friends exhibition as part of the kunst altonale!
On June 1st and 2nd, an oasis of creativity and inspiration awaits you on the Platz der Republik (Hamburg Altona).
Experience a variety of artworks, from vibrant acrylic paintings to captivating illustrations and expressive drawings. And best of all, you can not only admire them, but also purchase them and take them home with you!
You will also be enchanted by our drawing robot, which draws portraits live and independently! A literally interactive work of art that you have to experience.
A video installation on the DEMO scene offers a spectacular look at the world of real-time algorithms, provides information about this unique digital art form and, above all, makes it tangible. DEMO art is the first digital art form ever to be declared intangible cultural heritage by UNESCO. This must be celebrated!
To round off the evening, there will also be danceable live electronic music. Look forward to great sets from B.Vernunft, Hooker and KNRD. We look forward to welcoming you to this unforgettable event!

CORE'97 / CORE'98 intros remake
Hello!
I just finished COREMAKE - CORE'97 / CORE'98 intros remake. This is open source project with full ANSI C MS-DOS source codes (compiled under Turbo C 2.01).
https://github.com/systoolz/coremake
This intros reverse engineered and remaked solely for fun and nostalgia. Most of the code disassembled from intros, but expect some slightly differences here and there compared to original behavior.
Greetings to everyone at CORE who did original intros almost 30 years ago!
This was fascinating dive into the late 90th technology finding origins of all assets used in the intros. The first attempt was in 2003 but only today I was able to find almost all sources for code and assets - see README.md at GitHub. Also will be glad if someone can help to identify and pinpoint the source of the font1 file - this is only asset without known origin. PC archaeology FTW!
Not sure this is the right place to submit this, but I hope you help me and forward to the right direction.
Thank you!

Hege Nordli’s scene-related PhD thesis, The Net Is Not Enough: Searching for the Female Hacker, has been hard to obtain for years, but now that problem is remedied.

Underground Conference 13 (2nd try) - Sunday, June 16 to Sunday, June 23 2024 - Bingen am Rhein, Germany
Last year we sadly had to cancel UC13 due to it colliding with an unfortunate existing-related event.
But now in 2024, we are going to do it. Yes, you read that right, Underground Conference 13 is a go!
The party is happening Sunday, June 16 to Sunday, June 23 2024. You may join for the whole week, or just for the final weekend when most compos are taking place.
Please note: This is the FINAL EDITION of UC taking place at this location. No "I'll be back next year" for you, it's now or never.
Find all the glory details here:
https://uc13.party/
It's a MYTH that UC is invitation-only. If you are a scener, digital artist or creative person, you will be welcome to join. We are just doing some basic sanity checks so we know who will enjoy the extreme freedom and hedonism. 99% of our party registrations are approved. Don't be scared about the registration form!
On a sad note:
As you probably also remember, now our long-term core organizer and very good friend mbb also has been challenged by an existence-related event. We still are in a state of pain and grieve. We have decided not to cancel the party a second time, as we are most sure mbb would have wanted UC to take place. And that's what we'll do.
An a related note: Please go register now. Once you have done that, we kindly ask you not to die prior to the party.
Also: We are looking for additional organizers who ideally are not dead. We have openings at the Aciddesk, in the compo team and in the decoration team, and also in all other teams.
Also, please join as at SceneCity for further discussion:

Cheers,
UC13 Disorganizing

Demoscene Report February 2024 (part 2)
Versus issue 10 in the making - vote now!
X2024 - The Commodore 64 Party! May 10th-12th. Tickets on sale!
Sign up and purchase your ticket at the offical website here: https://xparty.net
The X parties are renowned in the demoscene since 1995. Each edition just gets louder, colorfuller, stupider, drunker and straight up awesomer. As usual, Silicon Ltd, SCS*TRC and Xenon invite you to join us in celebrating 8-bit culture.
X2024 starts Friday May 10th until Sunday May 12th in Someren, the Netherlands. For X the Commodore 64 home computer is more than just an ancient relic of pre-internet technology. It's our voice, our art, our dreams and desires all packed into a machine that some people would use as mere vintage living room decoration.
It's our weapon of choice to create amazing art within a very limited scope, and we're damn proud of that! So come on over and enjoy a great weekend with the machine you love! See this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZYjsS5t_hc for a nice impression of an earlier edition of X!
Today X is being held in the same venue! More information on X or to sign up and/or to purchase a ticket click here: https://xparty.net/

Demoscene 2023 Highlights
Final version of the diskmag Jurassic Pack for Amiga AGA is out!
How time flies! Sixpack's pre-issue came out in the summer of 1995 and it seems like the day before yesterday.
After 18.5 years we present the twentieth and possibly last issue of the Amiga diskmag Jurassic Pack. There should be something for everyone in terms of content. But especially oldskoolers should be satisfied.
In a few months you will be able to read the articles online if you no longer own any hardware and still have problems configuring the Amiga emulators. You can download JP#20 from here.
