Demoscene Research

“GOT PAPERS?”: a new project launched with the aim to digitise and preserve material artefacts of the cracking- and demoscene – digital subcultures from the early era of home computing whose productive output was/is mostly digital and thus rather well-preserved, yet its substantial non-digital output (magazines, flyers, stickers and such) is largely scattered through private collections and thus out of reach for activists and researchers alike. Check out the website at gotpapers.untergrund.net for more info, and if any activists/veterans happen to have any relevant materials that they would like to contribute, please do get in touch through the contact form.
