SceneBox is a series of talks, workshops and freestyle hack days for demosceners, mod-trackers, webgeeks and 1337 h@x0rz who want to explore emerging technologies together in ways that will help them accomplish their technical and artistic goals. SceneBox is a Bocoup / @party collaboration.

Join us Friday, September 17th, starting at 6:30 PM, at The Bocoup Loft (http://loft.bocoup.com/), an open source hackerspace in Boston. Admission is free! Then, come back on Saturday the 4th for Hackday, bring your hardware and software, and show off some cool stuff on their big screen. There will be lots of JavaScript/HTML5 coders around, so if you’re interested in web stuff, don’t miss it.

Thanks to everyone who came and helped us out – it took many volunteers to make this successful. If you have any more post-party links, let us know! We will be conducting an @party survey soon, and gauging interest in an @party DVD which will help us balance our budget. Keep an eye on our official website: http://www.atparty-demoscene.net. We hope to do this again next year!

News for folks with graphics entries: our projector will be an Epson 8100, 1920×1080 max res, 3 lcd, 1800 lumens.

We may have another musical guest or two not noted on the website joining us and will publicize this if so. As noted, there will be free dinner sponsored by Singapore-MIT GAMBIT Game Lab Saturday night and we are live streaming concerts and compos.

We thank all those who have already made their remote submissions or registrations. Feel free to contact us with any questions.

See you @ the party!

Google I/O is Wednesday and Thursday this week. I’m going to SF, and so are a variety of other people you might know. We’re going to meet Friday and have a beer/notbeer together. I’m thinking Zeitgeist. Do you think you could go? Ping me. (add @gmail.com after his handle)

Haven’t registered yet? All attendees must do so by June 7th at http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/92611. If you’re staying overnight, beds will be available for everyone, but if you prefer a private room (2-3 beds) to a larger one, you had better act soon!

@party 2010 – June 18th-20th, Friendly Crossways, Harvard MA, USA. Visit http://www.atparty-demoscene.net for more info, compos, attendees, performances, site pics and more!

Demo
1. Size Doesn’t Matter by Coda (7kb intro)
2. Sweet PEG Hoe by Northern Dragons & Bawlz
3. Box Festival by Brainstorm

There were only two oldskool demo entries, the winner being a Colecovision demo, run on original hardware for the compo, by Krue (his first demo).

Wild
1. Wyndham Reality by The Peppers Gang – another Second Reality real-life/human “demo”, done entirely at the hotel by a once-anonymous crew that turned out to be the Blockparty organizers themselves. They forfeited their prizes, which went to 2nd through 4th place instead.
2. Criticalartware
3. All That Glitters Is Not Code by Tabernac – a stop-motion assortment of demo-like effects, again done entirely at the party place.

For the first time, there was a live compo stream. You can watch it again, with all the zany antics, at http://www.ustream.tv/channel/blockparty-2010.

Coda also won the music compo and placed 2nd in the oldskool music compo, which was won by Lapine. Guybrush held a workshop for using Processing code to create realtime visual effects for DJs. Criticalartware showed three entries from a “glitch compo” held in their hotel room.

As Jason Scott promised five of them, Blockparty 2011 will take place. However, it will not be in Cleveland, but rather in California, most likely the bay area. It will also be later in the year, around September. Nothing else is certain yet. Notacon will still take place around April in Cleveland, although it will not be in the Wyndham hotel, and another demo party might take Blockparty’s place alongside it.

Update: Photos!
