Moleman 2 – The Art of the Algorithms (Hungary)
Yesterday, I had the great pleasure of watching this great documentary about the Hungarian demoscene. It’s really awesome to see how stunning results you can get with a few kilobytes. The whole scene really seems like the perfect combination of creativity, technology and community.
It’s exactly the kind of imaginative spirit I can identify with, rather than all those boring EDM producers with 3rd person bios and artistic photos of themselves looking downwards. I should get out of my apartment, and attend a demoparty – it looks awesome! Solskogen right outside Oslo 12th-14th of july seems really cool.
Moleman 2 – Demoscene – The Art of the Algorithms (2012) from Moleman on Vimeo.
Although existing art media have been transformed in the digital age, the advent of computers has brought new art forms into being. In the past, visual arts and music required both intellectual and physical skills, but in the present, computer programming permits people to make art just by using their minds. Moleman 2 presents a subculture of digital artists working with both new and old computing technology who push their machines to their limits.

I also found a similar Finnish documentary, which also shows some truly magnificent creations. (Make sure to enable subtitles.)
