In December 1993, many of the top crews on the Demo Scene met at The Party in Denmark. The competitions arranged for the Amiga was hard and a lot of quality productions was released. There were almost 30 contributions to the demo competition, and probably just as many to the intro competition. Amongst the demos released was "Arte" by Sanity.
One should think that Sanity would have a fair chance of winning, but they ranked as number three in the end. They were beaten by Complex with "Origin" and Virtual Dreams with their "Full Moon". Although, that they managed to rank as number three is quite an achievement. Sanity managed to beat Spaceballs with "Nine Fingers", Rednex with "Emptyhead", Infect with "Harmagedon", and other groups like Dreamdealers, Insane, and Tragedy.
As you can expect from Sanity, Arte is a well designed demo. The effects and images shown matches the music that is flowing in the background. The artwork by Ra is neat and well worth seeing. The tune by Moby is quite funky and catchy. There are also a lot of interesting effects included. Some of them looks very advanced and they run fast and smooth on an Amiga 500. I especially found the tunnel ride exciting, but there's several other goodies to see as well.
All in all, Arte by Sanity is a classic demo that is worth seeing. It was made for the Amiga 500 and runs fast and smooth on this machine. Included are a wide range of effects, some cool pictures and catchy song.
