Welcome to the battle!

At the Chaos Communication Camp, Rosi introduced us to the concept of a “Patch Battle,” a platform for teams to showcase their weapon of choice in a creative showdown. The ultimate question: Which creative tool reigns supreme in terms of speed and producing stunning results?

Only a fair competition can determine the victor. Thus, each team will designate a champion to step into the arena and vie for glory. Here are the rules:

The rules

• The champions must come armed with their preferred hardware, ideally a notebook equipped with an HDMI output.
• The battle will consist of four rounds, each lasting 10 minutes.
• Each round will commence with a random prompt, such as “Circle and microphone” or “Cube Tunnel,” challenging the champions’ creativity.
• In each round, champions can earn points in three categories:
  • “Fastest” — A swift response with a shout of “Ready!” and quick keyboard skills.
  • “Most beautiful” — Audience applause and cheers will determine this category’s winner.
  • “Most elegant” — Judges will consider factors like the efficiency of operations and the cleverness of the idea.
• The scores from each round will be tallied, and the ultimate champion will be announced.

The date

The battle is planned for Saturday, Sep. 30th 2023 6pm at the Deadline Party Berlin in the party is at ORWO Haus in Berlin Marzahn.
