Yesterday Rhizome.org started publishing a series of beautiful posts on the demoscene, a widespread and long-time phenomenon still little known out of the underground niche that contributed to it. I wrote shortly about it in my text for the catalogue of Playlist. Playing Games, Music, Art, the show I curated for LABoral (Gijon) some months ago and that closed on May 15. Now I’m happy to announce that the show will travel  to the iMAL Center for digital cultures and technology in Bruxelles, where it will open on June 3 with some fresh new works. More will come soon. By now, here you can find the website iMAL designed for Playlist, featuring texts, short explanations of the works and links to most of them.

Above you can see one of the new works on show: the video Come Together, coded by Erik Nilsson on a C64 BBS, with music by Goto80. Enjoy!

… as part of the concerts series conceived for the exhibition Mediateca Expandida: Playlist.

LABoral just uploaded on Youtube a short video interview with me about Playlist. Playing Games, Music, Art.
