Thanks to the support of the National Heritage Institute within the “Intangible – Pass It On” program, and in collaboration with the distinguished sociologist Dr. Patryk Wasiak, we released an album titled “Polish Demoscene as a Community. Informal Practices of Polish Demoscene Contacts”.
Our goal was to gather, preserve, and disseminate knowledge about the communication practices and the creation of their own identity by the Polish demoscene. The same demoscene that we managed to register on the National List of Intangible Cultural Heritage.
Fewer and fewer people remember sending letters and distributing demos on floppy disks. Both the method of this correspondence and the practice of enriching envelopes and floppy disks with a creative visual layer are an important element of the demoscene’s intangible heritage.
We invite you to explore the >ALBUM<.
