Melbourne, Australia
Syntax is a computer festival, dedicated solely to the demoscene - a place to present and celebrate realtime animation (called a demo), pre-rendered animation, graphics and music. The word "demoparty" is globally used to describe this gathering of computer coders / musicians / 3D and 2D graphicians all under one roof, being constructive. SYNTAX 2008 was a huge success and the various productions can be found under downloads. If you missed Syntax08 be sure to make it down in 2009 and if you are new to the demoscene but interested, certainly come down for the screenings later in the evening for a beer.
