Blurb from the website:

"@party is a program of the nonprofit organisation Artisan’s Asylum, Inc. We aim to promote the development of the demoscene in North America within the context of art, educational, and technological communities that share our goals, foster cross-pollination in the New England art and technology community, and encourage collaboration between current and future demosceners around the world.

Short version: We’re about providing an environment in which folks can meet, learn from each other, and collaborate on cool expressive projects involving technology, particularly computers."
