I Feel Weird: Strange Desires from the Golden Age of Animation [18+]

Fri 5:00 PM - 6:30 PM · Performance track · Hilton: San Pedro

Join us for a screening of “those” cartoons - you know the ones. The Looney Tunes that stirred up uncanny desires you’d never felt before, and gave you uncomfortable feelings that didn’t have a name.

There are wolves in sheep’s lingerie, bunnies beyond binaries, and bears under the thrall of mesmerizing emanations. Do you remember the double-bind of Ferdie Fox’s resurrection? Do you remember when existential fear first felt warm?

Tonight, the glow of the TV will be our full moon, as we unwind tight coils of 16mm film and VHS tape to unleash lost memories of transformative Saturday mornings.

Furry Retrocomputing Show!

Mon 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM · Performance track · Marriott: Marriott Stage (Salon I to VI)

Fan of chiptunes, pixel art, and everything 8-bit? You may not realize these old boring business machines and feeble home computers hold important places in the history of the fandom, and are foundational to its early art and online communities. Come watch a slice of all this through the Demoscene, an instantly recognized but rarely noticed subculture dedicated to producing live multimedia computer art, all rendered in realtime. Witness a live showing on an array of computers new and old, from Ataris and Amigas to modern PCs, while learning about the evolution of the Demoscene and some broader computing history.

Presenter: Doktor Wulf
