Ympäristökompo

Ympäristökompo, which translates to "environment compo" or "eco-compilation" in English, refers to a specific category within the demoscene, a digital art subculture. The demoscene is known for creating non-interactive audiovisual presentations called "demos" on various computer platforms. Ympäristökompo is a type of competition where participants create demos with a strong focus on environmental themes. These themes can range from the beauty of nature to pressing environmental issues such as pollution, climate change, or conservation efforts.

The goal of an ympäristökompo is to visually and aurally represent these environmental concepts in a compelling and artistic manner. Participants often utilize advanced programming techniques, graphics, and sound design to evoke specific emotions or convey messages related to the environment. Unlike traditional demoscene categories that might focus purely on technical prowess or abstract art, ympäristökompo adds a layer of ecological awareness and social commentary. These productions are typically showcased at demoscene parties or online events, where they are judged by a community of peers. The emphasis is on creative expression and raising awareness through the unique medium of the demoscene.
