Opening a dataset of underground multimedia art
Create an open dataset of demoscene productions, which could be filtered to individual countries, themes, or platforms, and help make the demoscene more accessible to people who may have never heard about it. This dataset could be of interest from an art-history perspective to complement our UNESCO digital heritage application - or just be used to introduce people to the history of the 'scene.
This project is closely related to the Swiss Video Games Directory from previous OpenGLAM events, and was quite inspired by this tweet:
