Art of Coding is an initiative to enlist the demoscene as first digital culture on the list of UNESCO intangible world cultural heritage. Echtzeit – Digitale Kultur is working on various levels to get the demoscene listed in the Swiss Inventory of Living Traditions. This would be the first step to make the demoscene a intangible cultural heritage of Switzerland and to promote it to an international (world) level. Echtzeit is the national contact point for Switzerland and coordinates all volunteering efforts to reach goals of the initiative.

«The Demoscene, which is born at the heart of the home computer revolution, has been showing how skills and creativity can be stimulated and implemented in a dynamic cultural practice adopted to digital contexts. Many of its techniques and mindsets became core techniques and influences of the digital change, and are still vibrant today. Seven decades after the invention of computers we think it’s time to push for the next step to take born-digital culture seriously as part of our cultural heritage, starting an initiative to bring the demoscene onto the list of the UNESCO intangible world cultural heritage. So we invite all sceners and non-sceners to join us and support the initiative in the upcoming years.»
