For me, it is and will always be art!

I have tried and failed to be any good in this competition, but I for sure enjoyed watching these demos and still get this flashback when I see one.

Oh dear, good old times when having a 3D animation and sound all running fluidly (on that old machines) from a small tiny program felt like magic.

I have respect for the guys that kept on creating them and making it part of the computer/internet history! Thank you all!

Huge shoutout to Digitale Kultur e.V. for that -- that club was founded by the folks that organize the Evoke demoparty!
