The demoscene in our art lesson.

category: offtopic [glöplog]
It are the last weeks of school for me.
Today, my art teacher told me that I may make a presentation about digital art.
-> Demoscene presentation incoming.

Any demos you recommend showing?
I thought giving a general overview would make sense...

I'm quite sure the productions that are on mindcandy dvds are good resource look into.

Remember, in the end, to recommend visiting pouet to everyone!

It's worth defining what your 'goal' is here: are you looking for the best demos, the most artistic ones, the ones which are most representative of typical demo style, or something different?

YouShould / Haujobb is one of the best for capturing the essence of "what a demo is", I reckon.

My list (not complete) of recommendations is here.

There were some nice suggestions.
I think I will definitely show "Lifeforce".

@gasman: There is no concrete "goal" yet.
However, I think giving a rough overview over the different types of demos would be a good idea.

The current list of (different types of) demos that I >could< show:

- Lifeforce ("artistic")
- You Should ("demoscene-ish")
- debris ("artistic / demoscene")
- Function 2007 invitation ("demoscene / social (demoparty)")
- The Scene Is Dead ("retro")
- Peridiummmm ("tech.")

except both demos you label as 'artistic' arent really 'artistic' at all?!?! yodel - 32 degrees in the shade is what i would label 'artistic'..
I see what you mean... I guess it depends on one's opinion and perception. :)
Okay, maybe not debris, but Lifeforce does have artistic elements.

every demo has artistic elements... but i believe you're trying to point out lifeforce has an artistic narrative.. (whatever the narrative is cos that beats me :D)
i'm an teacher for art-education myself. if you'd provide an eMail i can send you some of my scripts.

haitta by flo, chimera by halcyon, ballad of a cluster bomb by kooma

as an example for an invitation demo, i would show: the code insight, because it captures the party athmosphere/spirit nicely and is a good example of demoscene aesthetics.

the throckmorton device by triad, large unified theory by pwp, WeeD by triebkraft and 4th Dimension

Depends if you want the selection to represent the demoscene itself or the more general artistic qualities of it. If I were to choose demos that in my opinion have the strongest artistic expression it would resemble something like this:

{ by Downtown
Paimen by Kooma
Minä Omistan by Movement
Lux Aeterna Luceat Eis by Ephedrena
hello:FRIEND by Fairlight
Cannapaceus by mfx
Anoxia Redux by ASD

On a more general demosceneish list I would put something from Orange, TPOLM, Satori, Blasphemy/Purple, CNCD, Moppi, etc...

As another cool (and more oldschool) example of invtro, check Euskal 6 Invitation.

One thing is to demonstrate what demos are. To me this captures what demoparties is all about :-p

Sometimes showing all the typical stuff says everything and nothing. It can also make sense to show what is *not* a demo, since nobody can give a good definition of a demo anyway. Or which demos are "controversial" or don't fit in. I'm thinking about stuff like $. That says a lot about what the demoscene is...
