Assembly (demoparty)

[1] The Summer event takes place every year at Messukeskus in Helsinki, between late July and early August, and lasts three to four days.

Through the 1990s, Assembly grew so large that even exposition halls no longer sufficed, and only the largest of sports arenas met the partygoers' needs.

[5] The main organizers of the event are Pekka Aakko (Pehu of Accession) and Jussi Laakkonen (Abyss of Future Crew).

Starting in 2000, the platforms have been combined, with PC (Windows or Linux), Amiga, Mac and even high-end consoles competing in the same demo and intro competitions.

Entries which break the competition rules (e.g. use copyrighted material, or aren't suitable for the category to which they are entered) are disqualified.

Janne "Tempest" Suni—who is a Finnish demoscener, pixel artist, tracker musician, and a member of the demogroup Fairlight—is best known for his song "Acidjazzed Evening".

During Assembly demoparty 2013 an electronic music concert was performed on stage by Sabastian Teir alias „Kebu”.

(Faemiyah) (Fulcrum) In recent years, Assembly has broadcast content from its in-house media effort AssemblyTV to local and national TV networks, as well as producing web streams for people to watch live over the internet[12] — spots for hundreds, if not thousands of viewers are catered for, and these streams have been watched all over the world, not just in Finland.
