In days gone by & still in these days & hopefully for many years into the future the demoscene has stamped its way into computer immortality. Using complex discrete mathamatics computer programmers are able to push the limits of computational power & produce awe inspiring display hacks.
What started out as abit of tinkering with computers by enthusiasts & hobbyists resulted in attaining government & corporate sponsorship, however has government & corporate sponsorship reduced the creativity of the demoscene ?
The demoscene was around before youtube or googlevid & even the internet.
What makes the Demoscene stand out from the rest is that computer generated music was blended with computer generated graphics. Three types of ppl make a demo work.
[1] coders
[2] graphicians
[3] musicians
And these days many old demo group groupies now work with mathematicians, data miners, scientists & engineers to create EEA Exploratory Engineering Applications . . .
The Magical Seven These Days Comprise Of . . .

EEA Exploratory Engineering Applications are still esoteric but do provide humanity a possible alternative reality apart from the traditional highway to hell.
