Polish Cultural Institute New York is proud to present <\/span>MAGFest Demoparty<\/b><\/a>, a 24hr event, led by<\/span>
Polish Demoscene gurus Grzegorz \u201cfei\u201d Juraszek and\u00a0 Jakub \u201cAceMan\u201d Szelag, during the 3 days of<\/span>
the legendary Super MAGFest festival, taking place in National Harbor, MD from January 2 to 5, 2020.<\/span>
Demoparty presents a digital artform known as the \u201cdemo\u201d, and in 2020 a special focus will be on<\/span>
demo music created on old generation consoles! Demoparty program will include: music coding<\/span>
workshops, lectures about Demoscene background, demo showcase, the 24 hr 3-day Demoparty<\/span>
with live broadcast for attending participants and remote guests as well as the final competition with<\/span>
prizegiving. MAGFest visitors will be able to vote live on their favorite demos, interact with creators<\/span>
to learn their techniques, and watch in awe as new codes for music are developed in the making of<\/span>
this magical computer art form. The event is going to be livestreamed during the Super MAGFest<\/span>
Festival. <\/span>

The Demoscene<\/b> emerged in the 1980s as an informal movement of digital content creators who<\/span>
produce graphics, music and software. Some would release their work independently, but many<\/span>
joined forces to create non-interactive 2D and 3D presentations along the lines of movie or video<\/span>
game effects. These are called demos and are run on hardware in real time, computed on-the-fly.<\/span>
Demos (as well as their smaller, byte-sized counterparts, \u201cintros\u201d) were once distributed free of<\/span>
charge on pre-internet online systems as well as floppy disks with other software. In the early online<\/span>
era, demosceners wanted a place to meet, since sometimes they had not even met their<\/span>
collaborators. The Demoparty was born.<\/span>
Demoparties have been running since the early nineties. They quickly became known for debut<\/span>
screenings of new demos and competitions for prizes. Since the European scene is much larger, the<\/span>
MAGFest Demoparty aims to grow the American Demoscene by building links between the gaming<\/span>
and Demoscene communities and introducing newcomers to the scene.<\/span>

MAGFest Demoparty <\/a>will be a continuation of a three-year cooperation of Polish Demoscene<\/span>
animators (previously gathered around the Riverwash initiative, now Xenium) with the MAGFest<\/span>
organization, thanks to the continuous support of the Polish Cultural Institute New York and the<\/span>
Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Washington DC.<\/span>
MAGFest Demoparty will be an opportunity to foster the Demoscene environment in the USA. This<\/span>
movement in America is scarcely active, which is caused by large distances, objective organizational<\/span>
problems and concentration of people involved in the creative use of hardware platforms on<\/span>
consoles that are difficult to program\/create music\/graphics\/animation on, whereas Europe<\/span>
(including Poland) has over 20 years of tradition in organizing meetings and Demoscene<\/span>
competitions, including the last 11 years involved in the largest Polish meeting of this type called<\/span>
Riverwash and the reactivation of Xenium event (September 2019). This collaboration brings Polish<\/span>
and American demosceners together with the MAGFest organizers in creation of a unique<\/span>
experience.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
