The Demoscene

Real-time audiovisual art made to push machines past what their makers thought possible.

Demos are programs written to show off: music, graphics and effects generated live, often in a few kilobytes, and released at parties where groups competed for the most impressive work.

Lazarus works with sceners and their archives to keep demos running exactly as they were shown, on the machines they were written for.
