This is so not-bigscreen-approved that it actually rocks. :)

this one rock ...really
Living, breathing b&w objects are in my computer ? Heh, impressive. But not thumbing this experience up, because it is too simply, it could be a 64k intro, not a demo...
so piggie, but it is a "good" piggie

I didn't get this one at all... please tell me what the idea behind this is :)
"Anm. d. Red. : Die langweiligsten 2:30 ihres Lebens"
True.
True.
I think it's cool.
Now here's the kind of "art" demo I like. No embarassing poetry, no flashing static nonsense, no "idm". Keep up the good work :)
nice work preach ;)
Great.
looks nice, interesting music.. but it just doesn't fit together. maybe i didn't get it..
really different and special! great one!
some damn good fx, but the music sucks, so piggy.
The beauty of mathematics
DL link is broken here :(
Loved this.
Poetry in motion
pretty cool
TRACTION=GOOD
I don't have much of a life, but I sure as hell have better things to do than watch this demo to the end.
Usually I really like Traction demos, but this one is an exception.
I don't think i'm gonna watch it again, but it was a pleasant and .. different .. trip.
quite inspiring idea, realization lacks some dynamism (or interactivity) ... good overall
After watching it again at home I give it a rules.
It was boring like shit at the party. But it has a very cool athmosphere and a unique look. But ppl shouldn't release stuff like this on a "party".
Nice typography!

Nice typography!
One of the coolest demos in a long while. utmost respect!
nice fx, nice overlaywork.. too bad the b/w and dull soundtrack doesnt make it a killer
fresh ideas, but hmm, i don't like the music. = piggy
Beautiful! But damn why it is so short? The scenes are very interesting. I think I'll show it to my differential geometry profesor :). I want to cooperate when there will be a sequel!! :D
I just discussed this with uncle-x. It's a taste issue.
design and some effects cool.
however, a bit boring.

Very mysterious and alluring. Visuals are stylish and clinical, perfection wouldve been a better framerate. Looking forward to more !
hmm i wonder if wouldnt it look better with negative colors... nice work preacher, could have been even abit better in places, but tis pretty nice overall. didnt you were into this kind of stuff.
Let me guess... It didnt rank to good, so the finns went around and complained how everyone did-not-get-the-picture of this superb demo wich nobody really understood it should do to anything.
Obviously all the voters mustve been gamerlamers blablablablabla..

One of the best highlights this year and definitely super chilling in the middle of the bassdrum-pounding TUM democompos.
Good execution, but too slow for my taste, and bored me to death during the compo
not really a partykicker demo, but one of the bests of that styles. too bad party folk didn't seem to appreciate it too well
slowpaced black&white wireframe simply sucks, whatever you do with it. face it.
it was very hard to resist the temptation of pressing esc...

Concept is god and like Floppy's Dream Equazion(/url] and [url=http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=10181] Dream Equation 2, wich were much better in my eyes, especially the first one.
The demo is interesting, but it lacks in music and the design with the white background over the whole runningtime.

Lovely!
the organizers' comment was pure lameness! how the hell could they afford to do such pre-judiction like that?
very nice (you might be first at tum...)
previous comment from me was written by dips actually :)
or me.. :)
it looked like my math homework
great conceptional demo!!
VERY COOL MUSIC
totaly stunning! this was different, and i loved it :)
i had nightmares like this when i was studying advanced math 3-4 years ago... =) actually, the direction rocked. But it could be MUCH better with the proper soundtrack... Anyway, thumb up for being different.
definite classic, and yes, definite tastebreaker.
oh look, it's Art(tm)
"Anm. d. Red. : Die langweiligsten 2:30 ihres Lebens"
false.
one of my favourites from the compo!

a few nice details in there, but it seemed to be missing something to tie the different parts together. or perhaps I just missed it. So, IMO not great, but a thumb for atleast trying something original -- best in the compo.
Cute, but a bit long.
Great idea, but I'd loved more use of typography and faster fx, it gets a bit boring in some scenes. Good work! :)
Boring :P
not a partystarter, but the different effects do pretty interesting stuff.. I liked it
visuals rock. music could be better.
still, rulez above any 3dtest.exe demos.

I'm in trouble because of this one ... :) First i don't like it, sloow, boring, etc...etc...
But after a while (few hours later) i check it again and starts to enjoy the mood and the atmosphere of the demo. I think i should give a thumb up ...

good enough
I second yero
i read in hugi that preacher thinks the design of this demo sucks!!!
Quote:
4) THOU SHALT NOT USE THE BASIC RGB RED, GREEN and BLUE COLOURS IN COMBINATIONS
yes, it's boring.
Skrebbel, it's black'n'white, not RGB colors ;)
(and as far as the design goes, I'm not completely satisfied with it. But hey, I'm lazy)

This is the most creative thing I've seen in a long time. It has an amazing atmosphere!
its simplicity is the key!
Is it supposed to run at like 1fps? I couldn't take after about a minute anymore. Escape to the rescue.
This is the sunday afternoon math homework feeling brought to new extremes :)
GOD! this shit rocked my mind and my fukin ass. I get stuck stared right to my funkin screen, like viewing a surrealisthic DehaVú of some other guy's mind.
Nice atmo & rythm, minimalistic at its best!

Hmm, the music should've somehow resonated more with the minimalistic visuals in my opinion. Still, this was something fresh and different.
I love the design, the atmosphere!
Mature work.
Nice to see your progress, guys.

we love you.
soundtrack: a little more volume on the overtones; would have been a coup de cour.

uuuuuhhhhhh
Yes.
Perhaps the soundtrack was a bit, hmm, "heavy" contrasted to the "lighter" visuals but still coolness.

This one is very special in atmosphere.
Thumb up for increasing the variety of demos.

could be a killer 64k.
Someone please make me quality ambient small enough to fit in 64k (and provide me the synth, or I can use tinyfmod), and I'll gladly translate more of these funny mathematical worlds in my head on the screen ;)
The atmosphere is something like awesome. The design, only gridlines just ownz. The music fit definitely very well.
slow, but most of the scenes are soo beautiful and the soundtrack is perfect
"cold and some dangerous" feelings because of visuals and sound - but i like the idea of "out of this world feelings" which are produced through this one :) Nice :)
minimalistic.
a few very good and simple ideas
really like it, minimalistic yet beautiful
is there more of this?
is there more of this?
This is heavy!! ...My kind of demo - you could take that minimalism so much further though.
so boring !
Strange one... really, it's quite shit, but the atmosphere makes it sooo much more than the sum of the parts it becomes a definite keeper.
Different, but really too slow/boring...really!
universal language
it's great when you still discover stuff from time to time! i totally adore this minimal style!
pretty neat
Nice concept, but too slowpaced for my taste.
Soothing disturbance in black on white.
Abstract beauty in white
The demo itself is not more worth than a piggie for me. but the music is pure awesomeness.
Joah.
The quintessential Traction demo :), and probably the best and most complete one to implement this visual concept. Lääh lääh.
This sure must have sucked on the big screen, especially when all the other demos deliver party mood.
However at home, with a cup of coffee it's damn enjoyable, watched it first without reading the NFO and it left me a bit puzzled what it tried to transport. The second watch was with psenoughs idea of inverting the colours, which is a piece of cake when downloading the vid from yt - and pushing a checkbox in vlc.
And it was, well,- darker - it did fit the mood more, though somehow it didn't feel right either - more like pleasing the dark soundtrack by using the obvious choice of colours.
Overall, I find this demo effective, in a matter of using almost nothing - to achieve a mood, sure I might be reading too much into it - but hey..
Soundtrack, though setting a neat atmostphere, was my cup of tea - especially the singing parts.
Thumb up for being brave, and different.

I tried it with a black background, but it somehow felt "wrong". The white creates a cleaner, more pure vision of reverberating space, which was what I was after here.
It's a matter of taste, of course, but I don't necessarily agree with the big screen argument. Sure, a lot of people will probably find it boring (and the organizer's comment reflects on that), but I'd rather watch a hundred ambient flybys than rasterbars made with OpenGL or run-of-the-mill trance demos. Besides, a boring demo is a great time to go get a beer refill :D
I somehow tried to revisit this aesthetic with Rowan Berries, and I try again at some point.

nice
Your instincts are really good, Preacher from 11 years ago.
Bold and pretty interesting. The soundtrack might have been a bit too gloomy.

Hypnotizing!
