About these pages
These pages were created in 2004 to collect together all the scientific
material concerning the demo culture, also known as the scene.
At the moment this audiovisual subculture is very little known and no
large-scale research on the topic exists. By collecting the various bits
and pieces together we're trying to build a big picture of what's been
done and by whom. Any additions and corrections are welcome. Especially
references to foreign theses and articles are hard to find.
Some of the online articles and other material may be inaccessible
these days and therefore we have downloaded and archived many of the
items in the bibliography during the years. Feel free to contact us if
you need help in finding material.
