Thanks for being there, thanks for watching us on the stream, thanks for contributing and thanks for believing in Buenzli! We’ll keep you up to date about releases, photos and reports. We will be back next year, in a new location, with new ideas, new features and the same powerful organizing team.

Last Minute News

nospam@example.com (Buenzli Team) — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 22:42:38 PDT

We are at the party place, building up the site for you. This also brings a few news items and changes for those that are planning to visit us this weekend.

First of all, there’s still the same car detour as last year (which means, that our travelling guide is a bit wrong in the end). Generally, you can always fillow the direction to "Museum" or "Kirchgemeindehaus", the street will lead you along the Buenzli location. Check this map for a bird’s view on the detour. In case of troubles and you feeling lost, just call our hotline.

Further, we have a bit of a delicate situation here, since the rest of the location building is booked, too. We kindly ask you to follow the special rule tweaks we have to apply (see more at the party place, slides). Thank you!

And now: Back to work - we’re opening the party in 7 hours :-)

Last Buenzli at current Location?

nospam@example.com (Buenzli Team) — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 12:53:24 PDT

Are you still unsure whether to come to Buenzli or not? If so, the following information might make you come: This might very well be the last Buenzli at the current location. The church organ, the landmarked building, the gallery and of course the parquet floor. Come to Buenzli 19 to see it for the last time. We try hard to make it possible to come back to the same location again, but the circumstances might prevent this. So, take you chance to see the classic Buenzli again or be back for everything new at Buenzli 20 :-)

Twice the Fun: Combined Ticket

nospam@example.com (Buenzli Team) — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 06:54:00 PDT

Evoke might be one week after Buenzli this year, but this doesn’t stop us from giving you twice the fun for not quite twice the price: If you plan to go to Buenzli as well as Evoke, you should buy the infamous "Combined Ticket". For only 65 Euros (instead of 70) you’ll be able to enjoy the compos of Evoke and Buenzli back to back.

So, if you are man enough to try this, mention that you would like to buy a combined ticket at the Buenzli infodesk and have your cash ready. One week later, at the Evoke infodesk you show your Buenzli bracelet and the ticket and you’re in. That’s it!

If you were not yet planning to go to Buenzli and Evoke, isn’t this reason enough to think it over?!

The PCP.CH Jury Prize

nospam@example.com (Buenzli Team) — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 00:44:00 PDT

For quite a long time, this has been a special feature of Buenzli and we’re back with it. The PCP.CH Jury Prize! The generous team at PCP.CH provides us with a fine ASUS EeePC 900AX (in stylish black) that will be given away to the best production of Buenzli 19 as defined by the independent jury.

How does it work? Every production released in a competition at Buenzli 19 is a candidate for the prize. That alone should be reason enough to release your production at Buenzli. The jury will be formed before the competition night, consisting of 7 - 9 people from all over Europe with differenty ideas and experience in demo-making. The jury speaker unveils the name of the PCP.CH Jury Prize winner live during the prizegiving.(Please note: remote entries are not eligible for the jury prize)

The prize was made possible with the PCP.CH PC Konfigurator.

Competition Prizes

nospam@example.com (Buenzli Team) — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 09:19:00 PDT

There’s no reason not to take part in our competition this year: We have received a vast amount of prizes from our sponsors and if the event is going well, we’ll also have a decent amount of money to give away as prizemoney to our competition winners. We’re also planning to have a jury prize again.

Be sure to check out our generous sponsors and pay their websites a visit. The whole event wouldn’t be possible without their highly appreciated help.

Competitions with PROCESSING

nospam@example.com (Buenzli Team) — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 03:35:00 PDT

It’s now time to inform you about a major change in our competitions this year. We had a great success when we introduced the "4k procedural graphics competition" some years ago, and are happy to see this competition at all major demoparties now featuring kickass quality releases.

Buenzli is always striving for new ways entertaining both, the crowd and the artists. We are now going to open our competitions for entries made with PROCESSING, a powerful experimental framework for realtime artists - the definitive sketchbook for artists and coders. Our goal is to attract new masterminds to the demoscene. This brings easy access for everyone to the ‘big’ competitions.

So, what will change this year? The wild competition is where we want to see realtime and interactive software in any way. Go and film your installation. Do it live on stage. This is your playground! The demo competition allows non-interactive but realtime entries made with PROCESSING aswell. We are really looking forward to see traditional demos compete with unique entries made with PROCESSING. More information on our competition pages.

So go and fire up your favourite compiler, fire up PROCESSING and go and kick ass!
