# Echtzeit 👾 Graffathon
Presented by ^moovie ^seism

A 48 hour hackathon for real-time graphics, with presentations strewn throughout. At the end of the **Graffathon**, all demos (max. 2 minute run-time) are shown, and attendees can give a score of :star: to :star::star::star::star::star: to each demo.

Inspired by open culture hackathons, such as [Coding da Vinci](https://codingdavinci.de/) and [#GLAMhack](https://blog.datalets.ch/046/), where we last year helped to [reuse demoscene data](https://hack.glam.opendata.ch/project/114).

Motivated by our own early (2008-2015) experiences with [Coder Dojos](https://blog.datalets.ch/012/), introducing kids and adults to open development in a playful way.

What do _Graffathons_ look like? A lot like [sceneparties](https://www.bnz13.buenz.li/articles/lb_buenzli_13.gif) ... Think of it as basically *just* the surprise compo. You do not need to bring anything. We can even loan out a laptop if you forget it at home. Photo by [Dixan](http://www.slengpung.com/v3_5/show_photo.php?id=13425) at Bünzli 2005

With apologies to Shifter (who was very productive besides this brief moment), we would like to encourage a productive, cooperative atmosphere. Too much focus is not a good thing. Photo by [Dixan](http://www.slengpung.com/v3_5/show_photo.php?id=8603&resolution=original) at Bünzli 2013

Most of us have grown up, and have become parents. We are aiming to support a kid-friendly open atmosphere, similar to Jugend Hackt events. Photo: [Zürich 2017](https://jugendhackt.org/event-rueckblick/schweiz-2017/)

Since 2016 we are running [Demonights](https://demonights.ch) and Game Jams ([PlayBern](http://playbern.ch)), building up grassroots [momentum](https://blog.datalets.ch/078/) and interest in real-time electronic arts and the demoscene.

In 2021 we collaborated on a P5.js workshop for [Open Education Day](https://hackmd.io/lX6WOoA-RwScPnR40B5VEg) and the cables.gl-focused [Pingala](https://www.echtzeitkultur.org/en/projects/pingala/) project at Echtzeit.
---
We have set up a dribdat site (make.echtzeitkultur.org), used in hackathons and Data Literacy workshops around Switzerland, for efficiently running Graffathons.
---
We are counting on YOU to help us run our first Graffathon in Bern, backed by [Echtzeit Digitale Kultur](https://echtzeitkultur.org), and friends of the demoscene!
