Breakpoint 2010 demoparty

A demoparty is an event that gathers demosceners and young computer artists. A typical demoparty is a non-stop event lasting over a weekend, providing the visitors a lot of time to socialize. The competing works, at least those in the most important competitions, are usually shown at night, using a video projector and big loudspeakers.

Revelation Space

With an opening party tomorrow is starting the Revelation Space in Den Haag, a new dutch hackerspace gathering quite some crafty folks. It seems that those hackers have a good touch for interior design as well! Among those are the discoverers of the cheap and famous lackrack: a storage solution for your rack units (up to 9 contained in a 5 EUR worth furniture), and they are now really proud to present the whole space to newcomers.

Eth-0 winter camp

Back from the first edition of Eth-0 winter camp, a meeting that aims to gather the many hacker communities in the Netherlands, to exchange projects and experiences, share skills and debate important topics. After visiting its summer edition in early 2008 and seeing how these guys could manage to organize a memorable edition of the international hacker camp HAR2009, I was most delighted by the idea of having a winter-break in the countryside with these folks.

Network Deceit

Dutch (legendary) journalist Karin Spaink just published interesting insights on the business model behind the omnipresent (at least in EU and USA) Facebook social network: Network Deceit is kept short and to the point, raising a mature consideration on the nature of the growing FB application business based on deceit and scam, as found in many other decadent corners on the commodified side of the Internet.

Context Free Art goes 3d

Context Free fostered interesting developments in graphic design for the past few years, providing well documented free software for language-based image synthesis. In fact the CFDG language made it possible to generate detailed images, including up to millions of shapes, from a written instruction grammar. All this just using bi-dimensional graphics, so far.
