Rewired is the only Belgian annual demoparty, which is organised since 2008. Typical competitions include PC demos and intros, hand-made and ray traced graphics, "wild", music and "oldskool" competitions.
A personal computer (PC) is a multi-purpose computer whose size, capabilities, and price make it feasible for individual use. Personal computers are intended to be operated directly by an end user, rather than by a computer expert or technician. Unlike large costly minicomputer and mainframes, time-sharing by many people at the same time is not used with personal computers.
The first three editions took place in Maaseik, Belgium. The party is organized in JC Fuego, not far from downtown Maaseik.
Maaseik is a town and municipality in the Belgian province of Limburg. Both in size as in population, it is the 8th largest municipality in Limburg. The town is the seat of the administrative arrondissement of Maaseik (kieskanton). Internationally, Maaseik is known as the assumed birthplace of the famous Flemish painters Jan and Hubert van Eyck.
