****************** BEGIN OFFICIAL PARTY INFO TEXTS ********************
It's the year 2009. While the global economy is celebrating its overly
dramatic suicide, governments around the world build up a wall of fear
to protect against an uprising of their own people. The thunder of the
collapsing credit economy drowns out the sound of the hectic attempts
to dismantle the values and freedoms once gained at great cost -
creating a safe distance to those who have yet to realize their losses.
This makes it also hard times for the demoscene, an international group
of young technology-focused artists.
Breakpoint, world's biggest family meeting for programmers, musicians and
artists, always tried to be a bridge between the committed demosceners
and the outside world, the IT industry and the electronic art scene.
A bridge that now seems to lead into a dark abyss.
As you may have read, Breakpoint has lost its former main sponsors. In
January 2009, when sponsoring deals got dropped and suddenly more than
half of the party budget was missing, it seemed like Breakpoint would be
doomed.
But never underestimate the scene - thanks to a gigantic wave of support
from the scene, tons of donations, and due to the hard work of the
voluntary Breakpoint organizing team, we've made the impossible a reality:
Breakpoint 2009 is going to take place. May the commercial world around
is go down in flames, the demoscene sure won't.
And what first looked like the end of Breakpoint may well turn out to be
its finest hour. So yes, we'll have less budget, we had to cut on various
costs - but we're still here, and we will kick some serious butt. We'll
make sure that everything a scener could wish for will be present at the
party - our gigantic FullHD projector that made its debut in 2008 will
return, there will be tons of competitions, great outside fun, lots of
cheap drinks and food, and you'll share your party with up to 1000
creative participants from over 30 countries. So once again every scener
in the world should know one thing for sure: This is the demoparty event
of the year, and you just can not afford to miss it.
