It is pretty strange that i didn’t cover this topic in previous posts. So, i stand corrected and posting it now!
@ FIRST: WHAT IS DEMOSCENE?
In this quick breakdown i’ll point to the most coolest demoscene stuff out there.
▓ IBM PC [DOS/WIN] In early 90s finnish coders from Future Crew
brought phenomenon of demoscene to masses.
FUTURE CREW - SECOND REALITY [1993] Demo size: 2Mb Demo page
The Black Lotus
are Swedish Atari/Amiga hackers.
The most coolest benchmarks from Finish masters.
Gradually Futuremark [which consumed Mad Onion] works had lost glitter of demoscene awesomeness and became just dry showcase room of current GPU technologies. And yeah, soundtrack of modern benchmarks represent boredom at it’s best.

Aki Kaurismaki
is Finnish film director who makes minimalistic’n’ambientish movies about life of plain folks. Some people describe Aki’s films like «depressive», but I’m not agree on such superficial conclusion. I consider his art as a very neat backdrop for inner thinking and self-analysis.
Most of the characters are quite silent, but despite that fact their feelings are 100% understandable without any words. I think that Aki’s movies represent the brief essence of entire life and they teach us about many aspects of life.
Instead of paying enormous amount of money for battery replacement of his car [20.000 EUR], a man from Finland decided to submit himself for a quite spectacular kind of disposal of his electric vehicle.
LOVE FINNISH PEOPLE, THEY ARE ALWAYS SO CREATIVE.
