[About]

FreePixel looks at video games as part of the moving image culture. Games are not movies. But games use moving image tradition in their presentation. That is why FreePixel offers a critical look at games and their expressive qualities that grow from the use of the moving image.

Demoscene eBook

Posted by Michael

Lassi Tasajaervi visited Georgia Tech when the print version of his book Demoscene: The Art of Real-Time came out. So I was lucky enough to get a copy but I am not sure how far the word about his book spread. Good news: now it is available as eBook.

The book is a short collection of essays and interviews taken from within the demoscene with Lassi’s “A Brief History of the Demoscene” as the most substantial one. It is not necessarily academic/ critical but a helpful introduction to the demoscene and its roots.

It always helps to feed some reference materials to our (still) under-published field.
