  If anything, some of you guys sound exactly like the kinda people who, after all the... criticisms about politics, would gladly make *anything* political. As long as it's about the "right" politics.

  
  i'm sorry but the quality and nature of the politics do in fact matter. do you imagine that just because some like myself welcome political topics intersecting the demoscene, it should all be accepted with open arms, without any criticism, disapproval or condemnation? this is a rhetorical question, i don't actually care about how you would answer the question. but the fact is that if your politics involve hostility towards me or people i care about, i have no inclination of just ignoring that and putting it aside.
  
  but i should follow my own advice too and not say anything more here. none of the messages or values this release represents deserve any kind of social amplification. do as i say, not as i do… so it goes.

• i kinda don't even want to comment on this, because honestly there's nothing here even worth considering or thinking about, or evaluating critically. i mean that's apparent from just the editorial, but also try reading the "colonization" section; it's an incoherent mess that doesn't even come close to making a point, let alone arguing for one successfully.
  
  perhaps it's in part the english translation, but this is text clearly aimed towards "outsiders"—hence why i expect so many different translations exist—so i'd expect more attention to be put into actually writing something worthwhile. not that any of these arguments or political viewpoints convincing at all. strawmen all the way down.
  
  this is not worth anyone's time, and not worth drawing any attention to. there's nothing wrong with writing—even in demoscene context—about political topics, but this degree of sophistry combined with whining about others not coming to agreement with your poorly argued reprehensible politics is pathetic.
  
  also yeah, that's not to even say anything about how fundamentally objectionable the politics themselves are, as outlined by other comments already. if you read this comment, then seriously, don't bother looking this up or reading it, or putting up an empty thumbs down as a statement. just move on; this isn't worth drawing attention to.

  The fact that I knew that others in the audience were witnessing the same thing on this huge projection screen before us made it feel more like an exhibition piece than a compo entry.

  
  whole heartedly agree. this is a brilliant point and i think i was trying to communicate something similar myself, but was unable to find myself to this exact sentiment. perhaps actually being in the audience would've instilled the feeling more consciously into me, alas…

• demo Windows WALKMAN by Altair
• you will Live, Laugh and Love, and you will enjoy it
  
  classic Altair, sweet stuff. excellent soundtrack with a wonderful blend of styles. i like the arc that it forms in terms of various moods, and how well the direction follows in its footsteps. a great example of letting the music take the lead, and then having it and the visuals walk hand in hand.

• Best production at the party, probably the best 4k intro this decade so far, and also quite certainly the best audio in a 4k intro ever. Actually no, in fact, this is one of the best soundtracks to anything to have ever come out of the scene.
  
  Once again, there's something to be said about sincerity and vulnerability in putting out something like this. Something that comes from deep within you, something personal, something about you. Watching this makes me feel wistful, even heartbroken, longing for something, for a piece missing somewhere within. But at the same time there's ambiguity whether filling that void is even worthwhile; a conflict and a friction akin to desire or intimacy itself. It's cautiously violent, but turned inwards, towards the self.
  
  This is not long at all. If anything 8 minutes feels constricting, a limitation only imposed by the conventions and rules of the compo system. I could've sat in a state of sensory deprivation for over an hour, sinking deeper and deeper into this. Not to draw a banal comparison, but this is very close to experiencing an Autechre concert, being stationary for an extended period in a state of minimal external stimuli. Of course at a party you give up your agency to pick and choose the exact details of what when and how to experience something, but for works of artistic sincerity I'm hopeful that most would ultimately feel rewarded for the experience. Some clearly did, while others not so much.
  
  I've for a long time tried to campaign for productions to push the limits of duration, breaking away from being just easily consumable pieces of entertainment generally packaged to around 5 minutes or less. Ultimately I'm relieved at the reception seen here, despite the disappointingly low placement in the final results. I feel optimistic that perhaps finally this new leaf might be turning in our silly little sub-culture.
  
  Maybe I said too much already. The demo itself is the speaking, and that's what we all should be here to appreciate. Thank you for trusting me with the preview version of this. Ultimately seeing it in context was even more satisfactory, however.
  
  Genuine masterpiece.

• demo Amiga AGA entropy chamber by Logicoma [web]
• speaking of a "dream team"…
  
  exactly how i would've imagined Logicoma to translate onto "nuskool" amiga. relatively simple and to the point, but it doesn't need to be anything more than that. i love how clean it looks, from technical pov with antialiasing and everything (supersampling you say??), as well as the design and presentation, not to mention the music.
  
  funnily enough this also is probably the closest visual counterpart i've seen to the initial concept of absolute territory that was floating in my head…
