Prix Ars Electronica 2007 « COMPUTER ANIMATION / FILM/ VFX. Honorary Mention”

In the early 80s it became a sport for young, talented computer hackers to modify the intro scenes of games and to label their cracks. Soon, more advanced versions, the crack-intros (“cracktros”), became fashionable, combining visual effects with music in real time to show programming skills. The demo scene was born. Since then, the visual and musical quality has improved so immensely that it has become an art form unto itself. Chaos Theory is a gorgeous 64K demo, a special form of demo that is limited to that (amazingly small) amount of initial code and data. It is a beautiful piece of code as well as a beautiful visual and musical experience. Ars Electronica in its essence. (Sabine Hirtes, member of the jury)
