Project Description

More than just technical showcases, demos were also artistic statements, filled with music, animations, and elaborate visual effects. Usually done by high school students, they were often created with a sense of rebellious artistry. Today, the demoscene is recognized for its contributions to digital art and programming, influencing everything from video game development to the modern digital arts community. To preserve and showcase these technical pieces of art, it was decided to add them as an eXo project.

The eXoDemoScene project consists of 1,818 demos originating from over 41 different countries and released from 1987 through mid-1997. The demos can be sorted in the frontend in several ways (by year, country, party, specific release group, type, etc.), helping you to find the demos that interest you. In addition, a playlist of eXo staff favorites has been provided to assist in your journey of discovery.

The project also includes some amazing documentaries about the scene that are worth checking out.
