Sneak Peak!<\/h2>\n

Last wednesday we did a sneak preview<\/a> of the Mozilla Labs DemoParty 2011 at the NYC Resistor hackerspace<\/a>. Severall artists and hackers demoed their web-based work to show-off the amazing possibilities for creatives using open web technologies.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A small team at Mozilla Labs is currently working on an online competition called DemoParty, fostering creativity and art on the open web platform, as a follow-up on the Game-on competition<\/a>. Submissions will be open in 5 very specific categories. We are also working on several events, and are proud to announce that one will be in collaboration with the guys behind the famous Alternative Party<\/a> in Helsinki!! <\/strong>More details soon.<\/p>\n

Demo Art<\/h2>\n

As a great example, the Mozilla audio API team<\/a> is doing much more than just showing-off technology – Their demos have a huge artistic component. This approach to demo making is not new, the “art of demoing” has evolved for many years in a sub culture called the “Demoscene” – Artists working with code, music and computer graphics within very specific boundaries, regularly competing with each other on “Demopartys”.<\/strong><\/p>\n

How cool would it be if more groups like e.g. FARBRAUSCH (video at the end of this post), a famous demoscene collective, would create demos directly on the web platform!? STAY TUNED. Contact us if you want to get involved!! tobias \/at\/ mozilla.com Follow: @mozlabs<\/a><\/p>\n

Thank you!<\/h2>\n

Thank you Marius Watz<\/a>, Won Chun<\/a>, Ben Moskowitz<\/a>, Brian Chirls<\/a> and Jess Klein<\/a> for showing us your work last week!! More pictures can be found here on tbx’s flickr page<\/a> and on the Laughing Squid blog<\/a><\/p>\n

A special thank you to Scott Beale<\/a> for posting sweet pictures<\/a> and Bre Pettis<\/a> + the entire NYC Resistor crew<\/a> for being awesome hosts!
