The Demoscene

How does a digital subculture develop?

Update 2020-11-26: Interesting companion piece I found from Motherboard (Vice) that touches on a point that I made about the lethargy of the North American Demoscene.

At the end of every two-week MindTouch Engineering sprint, Patty Ramert hosts Last Sprint Today: a chance for us to share with other MindTouchers what we’ve learned, anything we are working on, or any technical topic of interest. This week, I presented a primer on the Demoscene, which may be better described as “hackers gone wild” 😂.
