Last weekend Jason Scott (TEXTFILES.COM) and I gave a speech entitled "100 Years of the Computer Art Scene" at the Notacon conference in Ohio.

For those who couldn't make the journey, we've released MP3 versions at various bit-rates, as well as published a complete text transcript. The MP3's were encoded with LAME 3.97 and the text is ASCII-compliant 7-bit text. :)

I hope even the most educated scene expert will enjoy the speech, and if you discover any sort of inaccuracies please do let me know.

(There are add'l MP3s at higher/lower bitrates, check the main directory.)

Man, I reign supreme at posting URLs! Here are those MP3 links once again:

/me gives up. ;-)

give www.tinyurl.com a try. :)

Do Tiny URL's expire eventually?

nope.

very cool :)

fun and interesting :)

TinyURL isn't going to solve his problem of malformed BBCode

there.

muhauhahah BBCode hates you all!

Haha. No, I was just retarded that day. I'll admit it. BBCode isn't that complicated. THAT SAID, it would be nice if there was a confirmation/preview window before posts go out on Pouet! ;-)

Oh well... back to planning ARTS episode #3.

seems like a fun presentation =)

well, the textfile started very interestingly, but at the end it looked like that in the computer arts 95 years out of 100 were all about ANSI.

i think they would need a couple more hours to fully explain the demoscene and trackerscene :P

i think they did pretty well. printer songs part owned :)

If it was just about ANSI then yeah it's an informative and interesting read. But, about any other part of the scene it's just complete shit.
Only 2 mentions of Amiga and NONE about the Atari ST. If it weren't for these 2 machine's i doubt the demoscene would be ANYWHERE near where it is today. Would the IBM PCs have advanced as far graphically as they have today without competition? Chances are that without Amiga and Atari we'd live in a world of business machines and world of gaming consoles.

ps, who cares about the tracker scene :)

Intrinsic: in short: YES, they would have.

Get all the "printer songs" at this page.

i wonder why all these americans keep holding seminars about a scene which they have never really been a part of. most of the DEMOscene is connected with Europe - and only few american-demo-groups exists, yet all seminars and such are performed in .us :-)

Intrinsic: Atari is on the periferia of the demoscene, where there ever dedicated atari compos at "big" partys ?

Intrinsic: atari never played an important role in the demoscene. So forget quickly about it.

the main machines in chronological orders:

-c64
-Amiga
-PC

rasmus: we have seminars which can beat your seminars.

phoenix: we actually have a 'demoscene' and don't need seminars about it ;)
