Demoscene became national UNESCO cultural heritage in France
Just two weeks after being recognized as national cultural heritage in Sweden, the demoscene has also been inscribed as national intangible cultural heritage in France.
This is another major success for the Art of Coding campaign, under whose umbrella the demoscene has now become a UNESCO cultural heritage in seven countries. Previously, the demoscene was the first digital culture to be declared a cultural heritage in Finland, Germany, Poland, Switzerland, the Netherlands and Sweden.
The official announcement can be found on the homepage of the French Ministry of Culture (at the bottom of the list ‘Les pratiques sociales et festives’), where the extensive application dossier is also linked.
Congratulation to all sceners, who were involved into the application!
