• demo Windows Cognoscere by mfx [web]
• <rant. Prefix everything with "I think">
  The demoscene has a lot in common with hiphop. They are both competitive by nature (battling), and skills are an essential part of this. As such, the scene is a sort of sport. But it is obviously in the realm of aesthetics, which is a lot more difficult to quantify , or rate, if you like. I don't know where this prod would be because I have no idea what kind of technical effort went into it beyond what Nosfe(?) commented somewhere. To demand that every demo has the same focus on technical aspects and demanding they all have the same type of aesthetic seems equally misguided to me. I think this is approximating art, if nothing else because it ventures well outside of the norm of scene aesthetics. Why would one want to narrow the scene down to standard formulas? Either way you look at it, a failed, or less than successful, experiment is more valuable than a rehash.

• As an aside: I find it ridiculous that people comment on how "inappropriate" the demo was for the compo. If it ruined your buzz or whatever, sit at home and drink beer instead. I really don´t see how your hippie happy go lucky attitude to parties should come before people trying to present a creative work of art. Whether you like it or not, you should at least have the wits to respect it.

• I'll admit when I first saw this, I was disappointed, partially because most of the BP08 demos were less than expected, and partially because MFX are favourites of mine, and this looked like a rehash of Cannapaceus.
  
  But giving both this and its brother-/sister-demo a second chance made them both grow on me. Good stuff, and I'm always happy to see someone try something new. Trippy and exciting.
