Demoscene Research

The Finnish application to get the demoscene recognized by the national Unesco chapter as intangible cultural heritage was accepted just this week. Congratz to everybody involved! The scene is the first branch of digital culture to appear on the list, and the Finnish application was also the first of the national applications to be approved. Read the official announcement here and more about the larger Art of Coding project here. We hope that this success motivates and helps other countries with their respective efforts – the next one we should be hearing about is the German one. Now it’s time to show your parents that you were right all along, and the hours you spent by the computer were officially recognized cultural heritage 🙂
