The demoscene party ? ?a computer-related event where fans of digital art compare their skills, exchange experiences and thoughts, and socialize in general? ? is being held for the ninth time.
The organisers of Function 2011 explain that a deomo is ?somewhere in between a game and an animated short movie or a music video.?
?While the visuals resemble [a music video], technically it's closer to [a short film]: demos run in ?real time?, which means that while the movie's every frame is calculated and stored once, the frames of the demo are calculated and displayed during that fraction of a second, when we are watching it.?
Demoscene, they explain ?is the group of artists who create these demos. Members of the scene are coders, musicians, graphic artists, 3D modellers, or simple laymen who, although not taking part of the actual production, simply like demos and being around the people involved.?
Function 2011 will take place at the Táncsics Mihály Művelődési Ház,1238 Budapest, Grassalkovich u. 122-124.
