Experience Something SpeciaL This Christmas

🎁 Step into a magical retrospective where holiday traditions meet cutting-edge technology in "Christmas Chronicles." This exclusive presentation invites you to explore how computers have interwoven themselves into the heart of Christmas celebrations from the 1950s to today.

Journey back to the early days of digital holiday cheer, uncovering pioneering pixel-powered Christmas decorations, Santa's favourite programming language, and whimsical winter wonderlands when computers were as magical as Christmas itself.

From the early days of digital holiday cheer to the excitement of the times when home computers first brought festive graphics to life, witness how Santa ventured into the digital realm and how people "teched the halls" with digital Christmas cheer.

Join us as we go carolling with music played by computers, from early experiments to modern AI-generated carols, and discover how even humble office equipment has been used to play holiday tunes.

Hear heartwarming holiday tales: how quick-thinking engineers saved Christmas for hundreds of children by fixing a bug; how a pioneering spirit created digital Yuletide greetings to cheer up a relative in hospital; and how an unlucky programmer accidentally invented a computer virus as naughty as Krampus.

This enchanting journey through the digital evolution of Christmas will be a ride that only Rudolph, Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, and Blitzen can match. Join us and rediscover the joy and wonder of Christmas, brought to life through the magic of technology!
