The Cologne-based association Digitale Kultur e.V. has made it. For the first time, the demoscene in NRW is a digital cultural form that has been nominated for the UNESCO lists of intangible world cultural heritage in Germany. Further hurdles still have to be overcome, the final confirmation at the federal level is due at the beginning of 2021.
Demosceners of Finland and Germany are launching the “Art of Coding” campaign to inscribe the Demoscene on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity as a digital and social practice, which includes many core elements of the digital world. The campaign will be officially launched at the Nordic Game conference at May 23rd 2019. Digitale Kultur e.V. supports the campaign.
