Echtzeit - Digitale Kultur

Planning on joining @CoSin@chaos.social next weekend? We certainly do, and invite you to design our new #mountainbytes compo and its rules with us in a workshop: the No-Screen/No-Pixels/Hardware Realtime...(well, it's really up to you to decide the scope) Compo!
Join us, more infos here (language either EN or DE, depending on people's wishes):

Only 1 week to go, until we are live with a new edition of #mountainbytes! How are your entries coming along? :)
We're already warming up this weekend at the #winterkongress of @digiges@mastodon.social with our own #demoscene & chill corner, as well as showing off our awesome movie posters!

Good morning, sunshine! After @revisionparty@icosahedron.website 's coffee machine killed our network last night ( ❤️ ), we finally have the fuel you need to hit the deadline!
The first 3 places of every compo will be able to pick a DVD from @shana@chaos.social 's and @psykon@icosahedron.website 's 20-ish favourite b-horror-movies - with the winners getting to chose one of our themed Cowees, of course! :)

Want to have the most adorable haunting at home? The first places will receive one of our Cowees, exclusively inspired by some horror movie classics this year.

The #mountainbytes partysystem is open for submissions now - send us a message for an access key to compete remotely!

By now, it's become a bit of a tradition that #mountainbytes hosts interesting live acts from beyond the #demoscene but still close in spirit, and: we did it again!
We are overjoyed to bring @BaumannBergmannPokinsson@mastodon.social all the way from Hamburg to play their first-ever gig in Switzerland!

🐮❤️🐧(little insider joke for those in-the-know)

Thanks also to all the musicians who provided us with music for our participants to use in their first production!

We not only had a fantastic evening at @vcfe_ch@mastodon.social in Solothurn yesterday, but also went to #comparade #demoparty and released a little something!
Here is our #mountainbytes invitation in its full glory, thanks to everyone who contributed movie poster designs!
You will be able to appreciate all of them live on our walls in February, of course! :)
