SUMMARY:Demoscene
DESCRIPTION:Demoscene events, often considered the original hackathons, br
 ing together artists and programmers in marathon sessions that culminate i
 n 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.\n\nWhen we talk about Demoscene, we delve into
  the rich history of computer graphics techniques. It's akin to walking th
 rough 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 recommendat
 ion; it's a rite of passage. The skills gained here are versatile and prov
 ide a solid foundation for various career paths.\n\nBut Demoscene is not j
 ust 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 se
 xual orientation. Here the merit lies in the work, in the art. The communi
 ty is caring, always willing to share knowledge. However, there is a compe
 titive spirit, a friendly rivalry that pushes them to constantly innovatio
 n and creation \n\nThe demoscene, as an international community, holds imm
 ense significance, as evidenced by its inclusion in the intangible heritag
 e listings of UNESCO in numerous countries worldwide. Several of these cou
 ntries include Finland, Germany, Poland, the Netherlands, and Switzerland.
  These entries acknowledge the demoscene's contribution to the evolution o
 f digital culture and visual art, as well as its role in cultural heritage
 .\n\nExpect the usual Demoscene activities:\n\n•	Demoparty\n•	Compos (Comp
 etitions)\n•	Technical and Creative Talks\n•	Workshops\n•	Retro Museum\n•	
 Demos on display\n•	Hardware old and new (C64, Amiga, Atari etc)\n\nDemosc
 ene and XR\n\nThe demoscene's relationship to new technologies is ambivale
 nt, especially since it often involves pushing and exceeding the limits of
  established platforms beyond what is considered possible.\n \nXR technolo
 gies, and particularly VR, immediately lend themselves to consuming tradit
 ional three-dimensio...\n\n\nJean Botev (VR/AR Lab, University of Luxembou
