Demoscene 2022: Electric Boogaloo

Presented at A New HOPE (2022), July 23, 2022, 10 p.m. (170 minutes)

Aspects of an ongoing computer art subculture called the demoscene might just permeate everything you do with computers in one way or another. This scene, dedicated to squeezing every ounce of computing power out of a platform, does so by creating amazing works of art, motion graphics, music, and of course, code. People who aonce cracked copy protection on games now make music videos. People who pirated software hire artists to decorate their new distributions. What is going on in this scene in 2022? Join Inverse Phase for this talk about how we got here and what we're doing to push the envelope today in algorithmic computer art. (Expect hours of art and music during this late-night presentation.)

    **Inverse Phase (@inversephase)** helps run a computer and game museum (@bloopmuseum) in Maryland. Archiving and preserving as he goes, he also attempts to run a fancy library out of it. He also writes game soundtracks, covers and tributes, and original music on the computers and consoles therein! An active educator in the retro computing scene, Inverse Phase attempts to bring lesser-known and unsung computer and gaming history to light.
