Demopati in Helsinki "Assembly 2018" photo report, the first day

Everything is the same as last year, only more and better. The festival of computer art that does not need to be presented. Dedicated to all those who really wanted to go, but could not.

Under the cut a lot of photos

Even before reaching the venue, there was already something to see: street street art. Last year, this was not. All the poddvorki in the circle of the trade fair center, where the event was held, was decorated here with such masterpieces.

But not all graffiti was so positive and creative. From everywhere, we came across this art. Without a clue what is happening in the field of propaganda in Finland ... but graffiti, and art in general, always exalts; the artist shares the good and the depth of perception, subtly noticing and showing what others do not notice. And these caricatures ... can hardly be called street art in general. What kind of propaganda. And yet, for completeness of the report, I decided to show you:







On the patio-tleys expected deserted. After all, this is the first day of the event, when everyone is just pulling computers. I already imagined seeing a bunch of schoolchildren unloading their monster cars and neon germs from the trolley bus. And the net, having come in the evening, we saw the already full hall. Unusually even. We did not even have time to start, but everything was already in place, everything was organized, everything was arranged, everything was hung ... oh ...









This year - the area in front of the big screen is especially huge. There are a lot of places for viewers who bought only an entrance ticket and came not to play, but to watch demos. There are really a lot of places:



Among the stands and creative corners, a corner of the Finnish Army is particularly outstanding this year. They drove here their waterfowl BTR.



In addition to various tetris and old school computers (photos will be in the next report), there were various desktops. Including such a table hockey so familiar to a Soviet man. I beat some kind of finals in him ... when they reached the score 3-0, I realized that it was time to start to give in. It is inconvenient to win at the home team ... but Fin capitulated, gave up and ran away. I shook his hand and thanked for the game.



Well, this is how we’ll finish this report with a robot-war robot. Wait for the next issues. Tomorrow the first demos will go.
