We’ll surely review the articles separately when we get our hands on them, but in any case: the long-awaited book Hacking Europe is finally out and contains multiple chapters that are either about demos or otherwise relevant. (Springer)Link.
Nicolai Brodersen Hansen, Rikke Toft Nørgård and Kim Halskov wrote a paper called Crafting Code at the Demo-scene for the DIS 2014 conference held in June 2014. Added to the bibliography, of course!
Added Kotlinski’s (2009) seminar paper on Amiga music programs – mostly trackers, of course.
There was some little hiccup at pelulamu.net, but now Heikkilä’s texts are back online. Thanks to Doreen for the note.
Individual WiderScreen articles will start appearing on the bibliography little by little. Here’s the complete list of what can be expected.
Done!
WiderScreen 1–2/2014 is a special thematic issue that deals with various scenes, such as the cracker, demo and chip music scene. Me and Antti have just finished editing the journal and now it’s available online (open access). We will add the individual articles a bit later after recovering from the crunch, but in any case, there should be plenty of interesting papers for you to read behind the link.
GAME – The Italian Journal of Game Studies – has published Heikki Tyni’s and Olli Sotamaa’s article Assembling a Game Development Scene? Uncovering Finland’s Largest Demo Party.
A couple of new bits popped up again. Entropic elasticity: Critical Glitch Artware & the Demoscene (Menkman 2010) and Endless Loop: A Brief History of Chiptunes (Driscoll and Diaz 2009) added.
We already had one paper from the Re:live conference of 2009 in the bibliograpy, but there is another demo-related article that was missing: Executable Cinema: Demos, Screensavers and Videogames as Audiovisual Formats (Menotti 2009).
I had this on some list of mine, but had forgot to add it here: On the Development of an Interface Framework in Chipmusic: Theoretical Context, Case Studies and Creative Outcomes (2011) by Sebastian Tomczak.
