Demoscene
The demoscene is a computer art subculture that creates programmed audiovisual art in all kinds of programmable devices, often within very tight constraints. Aspects of the demoscene that may be relevant to permacomputing include:
- Media minimization.
- Small and optimized program code where bloat and superfluous dependencies are shunned.
- The use of limitations and peculiar hardware characteristics as creative inspiration.
- The relationship to old technology. New and old platforms coexist, with old platforms having been supported as a continuous tradition rather than having been rediscovered. New things are constantly discovered even on classic platforms.
- It is an example of a pre-siliconization subculture that still holds on some of the pre-siliconization values.
