1 Demoscene 2 ========= 3 4 The **demoscene** is a computer art subculture that creates programmed 5 audiovisual art in all kinds of programmable devices, often within very 6 tight constraints. Aspects of the demoscene that may be relevant to 7 permacomputing include: 8 9 * [[Media minimization]]. 10 * Small and optimized program code where [[bloat]] and superfluous 11 [[dependencies|dependency]] are shunned. 12 * The use of limitations and peculiar hardware characteristics as creative 13 inspiration. 14 * The relationship to old technology. New and old platforms coexist, with 15 old platforms having been supported as a continuous tradition rather 16 than having been [[rediscovered|retro]]. New things are constantly 17 discovered even on classic platforms. 18 * It is an example of a pre-[[siliconization]] subculture that still holds 19 on some of the pre-siliconization values. 20 21 See also: 22 23 * [[Commodore 64]] 24 * [[Amiga]] 25 * [[ZX Spectrum]] 26 * [[pixel art]]
