Another Event Award was granted at Alternative Party in Helsinki 24-25.10.2009. Alternative party is a festival devoted to digital culture, that brings art, technology, science and business together in a unique way.
The winning piece is a demo called Bold, makers of which are Dvik, Joyrex & Moran (Daniel Vik, Vincent van Dam and Roman Skvortsov).
Bold was voted by audience as the winner of the main demo series of Alternative Party. The fact that makes Bold special is its realization with an MSX computer standard from the 80's. Since the format of the work is a demo, it is run real time on a prehistoric computer. It must be seen in the context and the performance level of the computers of its time. From a technical point of view the work is quite dazzling. It has required high levels of programming skills, creativity and optimization from it's makers. The main memory of the MSX-1 computers varied mostly between 32 and 64 kilobytes. A modern desktop computer typically has a 4 096 000 kB internal memory.
