Quote:As Jolyon Ralph says, "It's a completely underground thing that's completely harmless. No one gets hurt. Apart from Atari owners, of course."

random quote from that wired article:
Quote:the Atari ST, has disappeared from the scene - a disappearance hastened, if you believe the coders, by the sheer superiority of Amiga demos

I would recommened some stuff, which is (unfortunately) available in German language only.
Dr. Daniel Botz wrote a whole book about the demoscene, called "Kunst, Code and Maschine: Die Ästhetik der Computer-Demoszene". It goes through all parts, history and present of the demoscene in a scientific point of view:

Anja Hartmann wrote a scientific thesis about "The role of fonts in demos". She had a closer look at five prods, which are Heaven Seven, Die Ewigkeit schmerzt, Rastro, Human Sources and Angelic. The thesis consists of 28 pages and is written in German language.

Thanks for the certainly excellent readings. I'm really interested in reading this German book by Daniel Botz, but I need to learn the language first. :P |
