Ephidrena is a norwegian computer art collective and a part of the computerbased artistic subculture called the demoscene . They started to make "demos" in 1995, an art genre combining programming, realtime graphics and music. To begin with all content was made on the Amiga, exploring the opportunities within the limitations that this computer presents. Today they are still making demos for the amiga platform. But whereas the programming is still done on the old computer, newer hardware and software is used for graphics and music. Over the time they also developed their own style of expression that has become well known within the scene. However, each of their productions also has its own particular ambience and style. They may range from dark and sinister, to strict and minimalistic or playful and humourous.Demo making has always been a hobby for the involved, though some of them are working with similar things for a living. After more than ten years, the guys are eager to try out other platforms to express themselves.
